Make Your Mark Blog

Well…what a day! Yesterday saw 21 teams from schools across the UK meet at Kings Place, London to decide once and for all ‘who is the top banana?’. Tori (Challenge and Club Manager) and I have been busy organising the National Final for the Make Your Mark Challenge 2008 for weeks now and the hard work payed off yesterday (even if I say so myself) the event went without the hitch and I think that was mainly down to the high standard of the fabulous contestants!!

They could show those contestants on Strictly and X factor what it means to work under pressure…what I like about Strictly and X factor is watching the performers put in so much work over the weeks and watching the hard work pay off as they improve so much, they put so much effort in to their performances and they do it all with such a short time frame and that’s what I thought was fab about the Challenge yesterday. The teams had clearly put in so much effort, had practised their presentations at every possible moment and were not phased by the short time they had to do their tasks.

And while we don’t yet know who will win the TV shows (Come on Lisa & Brendan and Alex) we do know who has won the Challenge and who has been crowned ‘top banana’ check out our website to find out who the winning teams are.

Well…I’m off to make a cup of tea this Challenge malarky has worn me out but boy has it been worth it. I had such a fantastic day yesterday and I certainly won’t forget all the great enterprising students I met in a hurry. Well done to everyone involved.
