Dynamic Youth Awards
All S2 students are working towards a Dynamic Youth Award through their PSE classes. Dynamic Youth Awards are designed for 10-14 year olds, and allow children to choose a challenge, work as part of a team, develop their skills and help others. In May 2015 students organised the intergenerational tea in school. Full details of this event, including pictures, can be found in the newsdesk.
