The meeting focused on various Fairtrade issues from integrating Fairtrade into the curriculum to the possibility of introducing a Renfrewshire Secondary School Fairtrade Trophy.
The majority of the meeting was spent discussing the upcoming Fairtrade fortnight. We had the opportunity to share what Gryffe are doing to support this event. We were also able to hear what other members of the community have planned for this fortnight. The councils focus this year is a Bake Off event which they are hosting on Saturday 28th February. Members of the community are encouraged to show off their baking skills by whipping up some delicious treats using fairtrade products.
Gryffe will be hosting its own Bake off in school. Hopefully our winners will be able to represent the school at the councils event. Emily Irvine, S2, said attending the meeting ‘was a great experience’.
