Succesful recruitment campaign for Northern Star
13 Apr 2008

Friday 22nd Feb saw Northern Star take its road show to Rodillian High School, Wakefield West Yorkshire, for what was the first of many scheduled events in a recruitment campaign for the future. The day was a huge success with around 80 young people experiencing ‘hands on’ what Northern Star has to offer.

Everyone took part in the day long performing arts experience, which was a unique opportunity, and one which staff at Rodillian High thought was fantastic. The event concluded with a demonstration from the pupils of their new skills in a 'show and tell' session, which was witnessed by the rest of the school.

Richard Cartwright, Marketing Manager for the Northern Star Group, who coordinated the day, said "It was great to see so many young people participating in our activity. Hopefully some of these kids may choose to come to Star and take part in future activities." Richard went onto say, "The success of this pilot workshop gives us a template for future road shows, and we have other music teachers across West Yorkshire excited about bringing the day to their school."

Head of Music for Rodillian, Sarah Smith has already invited Northern Star back for a second event in September.
