On Tuesday 29 October, the Stand Up! Education Against Discrimination charity delivered excellent workshops to our S4 students.  These focused on discrimination, hate crime, why this is wrong and what young people should do if they witness this.

Testimonies from pupils who took part in the workshops will be posted here:

The Stand Up! Education Against Discrimination workshop was highly beneficial.  It focused mainly on discrimination and racism but touched on other issues as well. The workshop allowed us to gain  valuable information about misconceptions, discrimination and racism and showed us what do do if we witness this behaviour.  The workshop was very interactive and the presenters let all of the participants voice our own opinion and comment on our peers work.  Orla (S4) 

The workshop was very informative and helped me to gain further understanding about hate crimes and how to deal with them.  Overall I enjoyed this experience and had fun participating.  Sofia (S4)

Aidan Moody  in S4 has done exceptionally well recently with his tennis success.

In the past month Aidan has won 3 in a row!

U18 Boys champion – Giffnock Club Championship

Gold medal – Scottish LD tournament

U16 Boys champion – Glasgow southside interclub tournament

and Giffnock LTC’s most improved player 2019

These are outstanding achievements. Well done Aidan!
