Two Bermondsey students have received £300 prizes for their dedication to their school communities.
Roshawn Jenkins, 19, who attends Spa School, and Rhea Kelly, 12, from Compass School, received their Jack Petchey awards earlier this month.
In total, 89 Southwark students received the award, which was founded in 1999 to recognise the societal contributions of people aged 11 to 25.
Rhea Kelly, who attends the Charter School Bermondsey, received her award for getting stuck in with after-school activities.
Her schoolmates nominated her for the award citing her kindness and willingness to help them inside and outside the classroom.
She will donate her £300 back to the school to be spent on art therapy and sensory resources for children with disabilities and SEN.
Roshawn Jenkins, 19, from Spa School, received the prize for his “outstanding performance” in the creative arts.
A spokesperson for his school said: “Roshawn is a gifted artist whose work is known for its striking use of contrasting colours, setting him apart from his peers.
“Roshawn is also an exceptional dancer and has a natural sense of rhythm.”
He has decided to spend the £300 on creative books and games for young people at his school to use.
On top of their cash prize, every Jack Petchey award recipient gets a medallion and framed certificate.
Since the Foundation was founded, it has given out over 200,000 awards and one million young people have benefitted from its work either directly or indirectly.
