The committee rounded off a successful year with the annual Golf Day held at Kemnay Golf Club on 24 June.  Seventeen teams from a wide range of organisations played in a Texas Scramble with the winning teams being Anderson Bain and Kemnay Pupils.  Callum Scott (S3) won the Nearest the Pin competition.  The day raised over £1200.  We were grateful for sponsorship from Arcadion, Jasmine Holdings and Morrison Construction.  There will be a cheque presentation to our three focus charities at the Senior Achievement Ceremony on 4 July.  A small group from the committee were able to show their promotional DVD to new S6 pupils on their induction day.  They are to be congratulated for the time and effort they have put into producing this.  Social responsibility is high on the academy’s agenda and the Charity Committee offers senior pupils the opportunity to develop leadership and public speaking skills and to take ownership of organising a wide range of innovative events and challenges to raise much needed funds for local charities.

A new committee for 2013/2014 has already been formed and the main focus will be funding Emergency Boxes for disaster areas around the world.  This will involve the academy working closely with Kintore Rotary Club.

Well done to all involved 🙂
