Oliver Tambo centenary competition

Tambo Centenary Schools Competition

As part of Black History Month, Park View School is hosting a very exciting competition for Haringey primary schools, secondary schools and sixth forms to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Oliver Tambo, Nelson Mandela’s closest friend and ANC activist who was exiled and lived in Muswell Hill for many years. 

We would be delighted if you could encourage as many of your students as possible to participate in the competition to design a memorial for Oliver Tambo.

There will be prizes for three age ranges:

  •  Key stage two primary school pupils: ages 7–11

  •  Key stage three secondary school students: ages 11–14

  •  Key stage four and five secondary/sixth-form/college students: ages 14-18

There are fantastic prizes of £100 for the winning entries and the runners up will be invited for a personal tour of the Houses of Parliament by Lord Peter Hain, who was also a very active part of the Anti-Apartheid Movement.

Closing date for entries is 4pm on 19 October 2017.

If you would like to find out more then please contact members of the organising committee from ACTSA, Action for Southern Africa:
