Bolton pupils 'make difference in community'

February 11 2011

Pupils at one Bolton school have been making a difference in their community by doing regular work at places such as residential care homes and libraries.

The year 11 students from Bolton Muslim Girls School received training in customer services and team work before starting the initiative, meaning they were able to get stuck in straight away, the Bolton News reports.

School principal Mubaaruck Ibrahim told the publication: "I came up with the concept this time last year because I felt it was important on a faith basis, as well as a secular basis, to be able to give something back to the community.

"Even if a small number continue doing voluntary work after leaving school then it is an achievement."

He added that there has been a positive change in students since the community work began.

In other Bolton education news, it was revealed earlier this month that Ladybridge High School is one of the most improved schools in the country.
