The cost for each game is £20 and if any pupil is interested in attending one or both games then see Mr Brown as soon as possible.

Aids Conference

Mr Kerr and Mrs Baillie accompanied Linda Wylie, Elizabeth McJannet, Hannah McCubbin, Claire McNeillie, Nickola Andrew, Jennifer Andrew, Lorna Gillis, and Claire McConachie to an Aid’s and HIV conference in Glasgow on the 29th November. They worked in groups to find out more about how it is spread and how it’s developing in the less economically developed countries. They discussed how people are discriminated against and also learnt the skills to go back and take lessons on HIV and Aid to assemblies and PSE classes. They also met a group of peer educators from Malawi who told of personal experiences and also performed the song’s and play’s they use to educate the people of Malawi in order to prevent the spread, as most people in these countries are illiterate. All had a great day and the lessons are soon to follow.
