Lochdonhead Winners

Lochdonhead Primary School has been very successful recently in two national competitions.
In June we were told that we were the winners of the Total Green School Award run by the Young People’s Trust. In our entry we recorded and reported all the work we have done over the year to improve our school grounds. The results were reported as ‘excellent and the judges were all extremely impressed’. Almost 44,500 children took part in the Award for 2013 which emphasises the scale of our achievement. We were given a certificate and a cheque for £500.
Last session we took part in the Sky Rainforest Rescue School Challenge, creating a school team called the Lightning Swans. This engaged pupils, parents, school and community working together on a sustainability and environmental project. In July we heard that we were the Scottish winners and we have won £500. Laura Bosworth, who contacted us to tell us this fantastic news wrote, ‘The judges were hugely impressed by the Lightning Swans’ fantastic work over the past months especially the high level of understanding and engagement demonstrated by the team.’
We have formed a company called LCC (Lochdonhead Café Crafts) and we shall make democratic decisions regarding how the money will be used. We shall be running monthly Community Cafes, please keep an eye on the press and local shops to see the dates.
