On the 13th of September S6 pupils Jill Adam and James Marling attended the Young Ambassador conference at Hampden Park.  This is their experience….

“We were excited to learn what a Young Ambassador was and the role they have within and outwith of the school, as neither of us had any experience of this before. Their main role is to generally promote sport but also to motivate and inspire young people to get involved in sport.  Young Ambassadors should be  good listeners, good at communicating, confident, approachable and should have good leadership skills. We participated in a variety of team building exercises that allowed us to get to know the other young ambassadors from schools all over Scotland.  It was a great experience being able to share our time with the other ambassadors.  Our final discussion focused on what ideas and initiatives we could bring back to Airdrie Academy.  We had the opportunity to meet with our Active Schools Coordinator and we all agreed to bring back favoured clubs and to introduce new ones to Airdrie Academy”

Thank you Jill and James for your leadership and your TEAMWORK. Well Done!
