Pupils in our Wonderful World Club have held an indoor picnic as part of the worldwide One Planet Picnic. This initiative aims to promote sustainability, by teaching pupils about foods that are not only healthy but the planet. The group ate an impressive feast of seasonal fruits and vegetables, including blackberries, apricots, celery and pumpkin biscuits before also enjoying the delight of Fair Trade chocolate.

The One Planet Picnic was part of the school’s Eco School programme and proved to be one of their most popular events to date.

Clyde Valley’s Skill Force Uganda adventure has started. After a 10 hour flight and an overland journey that took several hours, Instructor Paul Craig and fifth year pupils, Ryan Burrell, George Wilson and Jamie Semple have arrived safely in the village of Jinja on the banks of the River Nile.

The Clyde Valley group is part of a 7 student team, all Skill Force Prince’s Award Winners, who will spend the next 12 days painting rooms in the village primary school and helping to install a new oven. The boys have been sponsored by the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund, a trust established to honour one of the best friends of both Princes William and Harry and who tragically lost his life in a road accident at an early age.
