Our pupils have been discussing Article 15 – children have the right to meet in groups and join organisations – as long as this doesn’t deny someone else their rights. We have outlined how we think the pupils and staff of Ardrossan Academy should act to ensure that we uphold this right.

The call for house ambassadors has encouraged 90 pupils from S1-S3 to volunteer to be the voice of their class and support the school. Everyone interested in becoming a house ambassador completed an application form and selection will take place after the October break. We look forward to our House Ambassadors working to ensure that the voices and opinions of all pupils at Ardrossan Academy are heard.
This week was Global Goals week and some classes have been linking learning to the global goals.
In science Dr Cannon’s class have been learning about agricultural chemicals and food production- this links into the Global Goal of Zero Hunger. The class discussed the problem, what the causes were and how we could address the problem as a country and as a school. Some of our ideas are shown here.
Another class who have been learning about metals spent some time during Global goals week talking about responsible consumption. They looked at metals in short supply and how we use them. Pupils came up with ideas to reduce consumption, recycle metals and replace metals with other materials which are more sustainable. 
September the 30th was Food bank Friday. Pupils and staff across Ardrossan Academy brought in non-perishable food to be distributed at our local food bank.
We are supporting…
Article 6 – every child has the right to live and develop.
Article 24 – every child has the right to nutritious food
