School children from Ysgol Dolbadarn and Ysgol Gymuned Penisarwaun at Siemens in Llanberis
The event was hosted by the recently formed ‘Green Team’ and management at Siemens Llanberis as part of an initiative to forge links with the local community and in particular schools in the locality.
Two local schools, Ysgol Dolbadarn and Ysgol Gymuned Penisarwaun, participated with pupils aged between 6-8 years old. The groups came on site to design and plant flower beds for a prominent position in the front of the Siemens building. Unfortunately due to unseasonably poor weather, the planting session was postponed to a less rainy day. However the groups received some Siemens promotional material and information about what Siemens does at Llanberis.
The outcome was that the children designed four flower beds using their creativity including ‘Croeso’ with Dolbadarn castle in the background, a very colourful ladybird and an ‘S’ for Siemens.
The Siemens site’s managing director, Ed Farrell, presented book tokens as a thank you to both schools and said: “This has been a great opportunity to get involved with the local community as part of our green initiatives. I was very impressed with the quality of the designs. The children are welcome to come back to site to see their designs planted.”
The Siemens facility in Llanberis manufactures and distributes IMMULITE® reagents used on blood analysers in hospitals and clinics worldwide to aid the diagnosis of medical conditions.
