Youth & Philanthropy Initiative finals

All S6 pupils participated in the above event in their PDT class from August to October this year.  Within class, pupils formed their own teams and thoroughly researched the local charities which they felt passionately about. The pupils then approached the charities and met with them to gather data to use whilst representing them in the initiative. All teams performed extremely well and did such a fantastic job for their charity.

The CCHS Youth & Philanthropy Initiative final was held on Tuesday 8th October. The final 4 teams representing RDA – Ravelrig Riding for the Disabled, Friends of Braidburn School and Simpsons Special Care Babies (x2) presented against one another for the incredible prize of £3000 for their charity.  The judges had a very difficult job to decide the winner but the winning team consisting of Mara Milne, Kirsten Macmillan, Rachel Hay, Louise Rorke, Shannon Duffy, Leigh Corstorphine & Yasmin Piatkowski were presented with a cheque for £3000 to give to their chosen charity, Simpsons Special Care Babies.  A huge well done to all involved.
