to help others in the school complete this same survey.<\/p>\n<p>Our final task will be to select a few willing pupils to share our thoughts and ideas at a Showcase Event at Sandwick JH School next Friday. \u00a0We will meet with children from our Cluster Schools and share our priorities with local decision makers, including representatives from the Shetland Islands Council. \u00a0It\u2019s a
