Coupar Angus Young Heritage Ambassadors

Living Communities and Coupar Angus Primary School have been working together for several years, exploring the rich heritage of Coupar Angus.

YHA - Coupar Angus PS

A Young Heritage Ambassadors group has recently been formed to develop these interests further, and participants will be working towards achieving a Dynamic Youth Award.

Dynamic Youth Awards are peer assessed awards recognising the contributions and achievements of young people in the 10 to 14 age group, externally verified and accredited by ASDAN.  As well as learning about local heritage, the Young Heritage Ambassadors develop skills such as interviewing, research and speaking in public.

UNICEF Rights Respecting School Award

On 19 March, two assessors from UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Schools Award visited our school.   They talked to staff, children, parents and community partners about the work we do,  I am delighted to inform you that they were very impressed with the children, our vision and values based on respect for self, others and the environment, the involvement of children in decision making and our willingness to take action on local and global issues.   They are recommending that we move from Level 1 up to Level 2 Rights Respecting Schools Award.

 

I would like to thank everybody for their hard work and in particular Mrs McCulloch and the children in the Rights Respecting Vertical Group.
