They each received a certificate and cinema tickets and they were presented their prizes by Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon. The pupils were praised for their passion in spreading the message that Scotland is against racism. Their poem will be used in the future to promote anti-racism and a calendar is going to be produced with all the winning entries with money being raised for the charity. The pupils involved were: Bethan Muir S5,
Iona Milne S3, Anna McIvor S3, Amy Murray S3, Olivia Michalek S3, Emily Sheridan S3, Rendia Petjukevica S3 and Louise Milne S5. A huge congratulations to everyone involved. The wining poem is below:
Nobody on earth is a minority,
Everyone must be treated with equality
Everyone always deserves respect,
So we all need to love and protect
Every person in all of our nations,
All have a right to a good education
We’re here because we want to stay,
Please don’t try to take us away
Who’d ever think that something like sport,
Could sadly make its way to court
None of us are from outer space,
So please can you get off our case
Just because we are all different races,
Does not give you the right to shout it in our faces
No one ever deserves to feel alone,
This is our home
