Charities

We have had some wonderful pupils recently embark on global expeditions, sharing their talents and gifts for worthwhile causes. Calum and Eilidh McLeod reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania, in aid of charities working with street children in the country. Meanwhile Calum Paterson travelled to Malawi last month experiencing the challenges of poverty there. We look forward to hearing more about these inspiring journeys when both Calum Macleod and Calum Paterson will share their experiences at an upcoming assembly on Friday 17 November.

Climbing
