I am the school vice-captain, which involves the responsibility of helping to look after the younger part of the school and organising events. Out of school I play a lot of sport. I am a member of Coylton Basketball Team in Ayrshire and I also enjoy taking part in volleyball, badminton, orienteering, skiing, athletics and swimming. I also play the clarinet in the school band and have completed the Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. |

Project Trust is an
educational charity, which sends school leavers to work voluntarily in
about 24 countries for a full 12 months. Its aim is to provide the
volunteer with an educational experience through living and working with
people in communities very different to those in which they have grown up,
without taking work from local people. Volunteers are chosen over an
action packed 4-day selection course on the Isle of Coll, and also trained
before, and debriefed after the year abroad.
