S3 History pupils have been studying the topic of Genocide and in particular the country of Cambodia.  Part of this study involved looking at the work of Handicap International and how they help landmine victims.

The pupils created a raising awareness campaign and were involved in presenting at school assemblies.   Across the three S3 History classes, various fundraising activities were carried out including an Easter hamper, sponsored silence, guess the birthday, guess how many sweets are in the jar and a Landmines Challenge.  The Landmines Challenge was a success in particular as it gave both the pupils and teachers who competed an idea about how everyday life can be a challenge for landmine victims.

In total £302.21 was raised across the various activities.  Thank you to all the staff and pupils who contributed as this money will help many landmine victims in Cambodia.
