Students from Commonweal School have beaten hundreds of schools nationwide to turn their green campagin in to a reality.

The energy company Npower ran a competition called Climate Cops SOS designed to motivate the UK's greenest teens to turn their passion for the environment in to a reality.

Ten students from Commonweal impressed judges with their entry video designed to rally the people of Swindon in to buying local food and reducing their food miles.

Now they're through to the final they'll go to London at the end of the month to take part in a special work shop hosted by former journalist, spin doctor and top campaign strategist Alastair Campbell.  Using their mentors wisdom they'll then go on to have a series of workshops which will turn their campaign in to a reality.

On Tuesday 13th October, four Under 13 girls went to Swindon Academy to play in the 'Swindon Schools U13 Table Tennis Tournament'.

Each girl had to play 3 games.  Out of the 12 games played we won 9 which won the tournament.

The girls involved were Megan Cleeves, Maisey Wichall, Laura Johnson & Mollie Pinkney.

Since the launch of the Student Adver in November 2008, we have been constantly surprised and delighted by the sheer talent and imagination displayed by pupils in Swindon who have contributed articles and pictures.
From celebrity interviews, to reportages to opinion, fiction and humour, the town has demonstrated without a doubt we have a bright future if it lies in the hands of our youngsters.
So we thought our student contributors deserved a little bit of recognition for all their hard work.
It is therefore with immense pride that we are launching the Student Adver Awards.
Each month, we shall single out the three best pieces from the previous edition for special mention. Then at the start of the next academic year, in September 2010, we shall host an awards ceremony to reward the very best of the Student Adver.

Olympic silver medallist Joe Glanfield delivered an inspirational talk to Commonweal School pupils at the National Trust headquarters in Swindon.
