This year the school’s Fairtrade group has organized a comprehensive series of activities to support Fairtrade fortnight. With the news that our school recently achieved Fairtrade status for the third year running, pupils have been treated to short information films and quizzes and competitions at registration time and all pupils in S2 have had the opportunity to take part in the Trading Game – an activity designed to help our pupils understand the principles behind Fairtrade.
One highlight of the fortnight is our Fairtrade Coffee Morning on Saturday 3rd March.
This is a joint venture between Arbroath Fairtrade Action Group and our own Fairtrade Steering Group. On of the key reasons for taking this forward is the fact that the school group is joining forces with the local Action Group to help Arbroath become a Fairtrade town. The coffee morning is a major step in that direction, showing that different groups within the community are able to come together to support the common theme of Fairtrade.
The coffee morning will be held in St. Andrews Church, Barngreen, Arbroath on Saturday 3rd March, 2012 between 10am and 12 noon.
Entry is £1 to include a cup of tea, coffee and biscuits – Fairtrade of course!
Arbroath High School pupils will be assisting on cake and candy stalls (and wherever else they are needed). All colleagues and friends who will be in the Arbroath area on Saturday are welcome to attend.
