The finals of the National Competition on beating racism, which is run by the charity Show Racism the Red Card, were held yesterday at Hampden Park Football Stadium.
Giffnock Primary had two entries in competition. Dougal Sutherland’s poster was entered into the P3 to P5 category and Lucy Eccles’ poster was selected to go into the P1 to P2 category.
Dougal was awarded ‘Highly Commended’ for the P3-P5 category. Well done Dougal!
Then 6 year old Lucy Eccles not only won her age section for the competition but was overall winner of the Primary Schools in Scotland category! Lucy’s mum and dad came to the event with her to cheer her on. Courtesy of the charity, as the overall primary winner Lucy has won match day tickets for her family for the Scottish Cup Final.
Lucy’s teacher Mrs Reid says:-
“We are so very proud of Lucy and her design, her creativity was specially commented upon by one of the judges who is an artist. The competition was part of the resources we used in our religious and moral education programme.”
Depute Headteacher Ms Rawley:-
“Promoting equality is really important to us at Giffnock. Working with charities such as Show racism the Red Card can enhance our learning and teaching programmes as well as providing excellent professional development training for staff too. We thank the charity for all their hard work and for a wonderful day for Lucy and her family. Never forgotten!”
