Tearaway Competitions

These might interest you . . . All these competitions are in the latest Tearaway:

April Tearaway will be at your school now. We would be grateful if you could forward this newsletter to all teachers who may be interested in using the April edition with their students.

APRIL'S SPECIAL FEATURE: 'EATING'

Some eat too much. Or at least, too much unhealthy stuff. Others starve themselves, with or without binge bouts. In April Tearaway, young people tell their stories - and we show where to go for more info and help.
