We are delighted to announce that the North Rhins Partnership of Leswalt, Kirkcolm and Portpatrick Primary schools have been awarded national recognition in Education Scotland\u2019s annual Learning for Sustainability awards.<\/p>\n
Having been shortlisted, we achieved a\u00a0Highly Commended<\/i> accolade within the Sustainability Learning Community Award category. This is an outstanding achievement, having competed against early learning, childcare, and school settings across the whole of Scotland.<\/p>\n
The awards recognise the commitment, professionalism and leadership that underpins Scotland\u2019s success in innovating for Learning for Sustainability within educational settings.\u00a0\u00a0Within Scotland\u2019s curriculum, Learning for Sustainability (LfS) is recognised as an entitlement for all learners and a recent international study showed that our learners are world-leading global citizens.\u00a0\u00a0The award is timely with the upcoming COP26 summit taking place in Glasgow in November.<\/p>\n
The aim is to help us all recognise the amazing achievements of Scotland\u2019s people and the settings, schools and communities that have demonstrated passion and commitment to building a socially-just, sustainable and equitable world.<\/p>\n
The North Rhins Partnership was required to demonstrate our whole school\/partnership approach that encourages individual and collective action to promote Learning for Sustainability.\u00a0\u00a0This incorporated many factors such as supporting Global Goals, the UNCRC Rights of the Child, Rights Respecting Schools, Eco Schools and our strong pupil voice,; both within our school settings and as part of contributing to our wider community.\u00a0\u00a0We are doing our bit to develop independent learners, effective contributors, confident individual and responsible citizens for the future!<\/p>\n
The official results will be announced in the Daily Record within the next week.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
