Coca Cola ParkLives

Gavindeep Samra and Maugam Purewal who are both in year 12 were on work experience last week working with “Coca Cola ParkLives”. This is an organisation sponsored by Coca Cola who promote activities in local parks for young people and indeed older people. These activities can include tennis, football or simply walking and jogging around the parks of Birmingham. This is an initiative to get more local people using the free sports facilities in our city parks.

Maugam and Gavindeep were both offered summer employment as a result of their work experience, and the picture shows them both at the Alexander stadium holding the London 2012 Olympic torch.   Gavindeep is particularly keen to take a Sports Development and Coaching degree when he leaves HGS, and this experience will be invaluable to him when he applies to universities.
