Pauline McLeish and Carolyn Thornton from the ‘Make A Wish Foundation’ were very welcome guests last week. On behalf of the entire school, Captains, Adam Lawson, Karen Perry and Josh Speirs, presented Pauline and Carolyn with a cheque for £7,300, the magnificent total raised during our recent Charities Week. Mr Vincent Lanagan, Depute Head Teacher in charge of S4-S6, who assisted the captains with the coordination, was also on hand to meet our visitors.

Pauline and Carolyn said, ‘We can’t thank the staff and pupils of Clyde Valley enough for this magnificent donation. Please know your generosity will allow ‘Make a Wish’ to bring moments of spectacular joy to a number of young people, and their families, at a time when they are battling illness and life-limiting conditions.

Having seen the pictures of the week’s events, we’re both just sorry we missed what looked like great fun! Well done and thanks to you all.’
