Rich man poor man lunch

 On December 14th the higher health and food technology class are hosting a rich man poor man lunch for S6 pupils and Teachers. This is to raise money for SCIAF and to raise awareness of the poverty in the world today. 80% of the world live in poverty and don’t have enough food but 20% of the world has too much food. 

Tickets cost £2. A selection of tickets will say rich man and a selection will say poor man. It’s a lucky dip so why not take a chance. The lunch will take place at 12.30 – 1.15 in the SS Hall.

Student Council

There will be a meeting of the Student Council on Friday 7th December during Period 5. Representatives should register at the beginning of P5 and then make their way to the Conference Room. The Student Council suggestion box will be at the school office this week for any student who would like to suggest an item for the agenda. Suggestions should have pupil name and class attached.
