\"\"<\/a>On Thursday the 2nd May, John Shearer of Badminton Scotland came to the Joint Campus to present the High School with the \u2018School of the Month\u2019 award for April 2013. Jillian Gibson, Active Schools Co-ordinator, nominated the High School largely due to the success of the after school club which \u2018is the most popular club currently running at the school, with over 30 pupils attending each week.\u2019


\nJohn presented a trophy, a t-shirt and racquet signed by the national squad to Alistair MacVicar, one of the school\u2019s Young Sports Ambassadors, and made special mention of the pupils\u2019 contribution to the club\u2019s success. \u2018Volunteers giving up their time is common to all the schools who have won this award,\u2019 said John, \u2018and clubs run by pupils for pupils help provide excellent role models for younger students.\u2019

\nThe award is open to all schools in Scotland and recognises that, at Lochgilphead, badminton is a big part of the PE curriculum from S1 \u2013 S6. The strong after school club is run by pupils, many of whom have completed the Badminton Basics course, and players participate widely in competitions. As John said to the pupils in attendance, \u2018You\u2019re a great club!\u2019 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
