On Thursday, 16th May, our S1 pupils participated in the Tinto Hill Challenge. This Challenge is open to S1 pupils in Lanarkshire schools and is a great day out for pupils and staff who can fundraise for St Andrew’s Hospice while enjoying the great outdoors and participating in some fresh air, fun, exercise, team work and achievement. Our staff and pupils were lucky to climb Tinto Hill in glorious sunshine and had a fantastic time completing the Challenge.
More than 3000 pupils are expected to take on the Challenge this year and it is an excellent way to raise money for the Hospice.
Well done to everyone who took part.
