Social Enterprise Award

Our school, Hamilton Grammar, will pick up a Social Enterprise Award this Tuesday at the Glasgow Centre for Contemporary Art.

This celebrates the achievements of our pupils who in different ventures have raised money for good causes through an entrepreneurial event.

Our incredible Eco Group lead the way - 3 Green Flags! - and I am delighted their hard work is being recognised yet again. Young Enterprise are also involved since they worked with the Eco Group with gaining sponsors for the Mango plantation in Donkorkrom, Ghana.

Last but certainly not least is Frozoz. This was a venture led by Mrs Brown which had S3 and S4 pupils creating smoothies. The promotional material the pupils made was particularly impressive!

The Social Enterprise inspectors came to visit our school and seemed impressed, so we were invited to the awards ceremony.

It should be a great experience and yet more recognition for our fantastic young people. It will be bittersweet since many of the ones involved are leaving to go to university. But they go with all of our best wishes.
