Truro High’s Year 10 Young Enterprise Team Silvah Upcycle have added to their growing number of awards this year.

Their success continued at CreatEd as they scooped the ‘Business and Young Enterprise’ award for their ethically sourced and eco-friendly range of handmade products made from bottle corks and jam jars.
The CreatEd Exhibition is the only show in the UK which exhibits the creative talents of students from schools and colleges together. Judges are invited in from leading industries to award prizes in all categories.
Head of Art and Design, Mrs Judith Tutin said: “Creativity is at the heart of everything we do at Truro High from Art and Textiles to Business and Science. The work on show at CreatEd really shows this, and I am thrilled that the girls’ talent and hard work has been celebrated this evening.”
