Ross has received further recognition for his efforts by being featured in the Awards magazine. We are delighted Ross continues to be recognised and are proud that our Gryffe High School pupil will be forever immortalised in print!
This is a perfect opportunity to launch the Inspire>Aspire competition for 2015. The theme, once again, is Global Citizens in the Making – continuing the legacy of the Games in Glasgow 2014.
Pupils are invited to complete a poster looking at their own values, Curriculum for Excellence Four Capacities, and also the four outcomes of the Games in section 1. Section 2 encourages entrants to think about their favourite fictional character and how this person offers lessons for life. You also have the opportunity to think about an inspirational figure whose actions and achievements inspire you (Ross chose the Dalai Lama – a man whose life has been full of adversity but he still continues to promote peace, freedom and understanding). The final section is ‘My Arc of Destiny’ – your vision and commitment to making the world an improved place. This includes detailing the kind of person you wish to be and your vision for a better world.
We would encourage as many pupils as possible to take part in this competition – and we imagine the prizes will be equal to, if not better than Commonwealth Games tickets, this year!
You are a global citizen and this competition encourages you to think about the wider world we live in, possibly spurring you on to action – similar to that of great inspirational figures.
