Young Voices: Maple Park

Young Voices: Maple Park

Some months ago, Ipswich Community Media and Ipswich.co.uk came into school to speak to some of our Year 7 students about their experience of living in and around the Maple Park AKA Jubilee Park area. The feature is part of a series exploring life in Maple Park. It has been produced as part of Youth Voices Matter, a youth-led community journalism project delivered in partnership by Ipswich.co.uk and ICM, and part-funded by Ipswich Borough Council.

Here is the article that came out of that:

Life in Maple Park: Young voices and the missing mural

It looks as though a new mural is going to be commissioned for the area and that Westbourne students will have an opportunity to be part of the design.

A big thank you to Mr Mason for coordinating this opportunity for our students and to Mrs Wilson, Miss Farr and Mrs Rockell for their help and support on the day. Young people speaking truth to power – hopefully we can see more positive change.
