Gairloch High School

The enthusiastic and over-achieving students of Gairloch High School have involved us in two of their projects which we are, of course, pleased to publicize.

First, they are re-running last year's successful Back Pack Appeal where used but serviceable backpacks and the like are filled with useful items and sent, in this case, to Malawi.

Second, the pupils are organising a Fashion Show in September and our PSYBT Ambassador, Anne MacDonald, and yours truly have been helping in a small way to provide some links to additional resources. This project under the watchful eye of teacher and enterprise enthusiast, Jim Sutherland, encompasses a wide range of enterprise skills including project management, negotiation with sponsors and fundraising, budgeting and marketing. We also hope to involve some of Highland PSYBT's clients in the Show (Anne Metzler of Inner Strength has already been signed up. Thanks, Anne). It is however, very much the students' event, with a lot of impressive work already carried out. I'll be providing regular updates, of course.
