Louise Budge entered this competition, read what she said about it below:

“When Mrs MacVicar said that we had to draw a poster to show that Scotland is for everyone, I knew straight away that I wanted to draw a globe as the Scotland flag saying Scotland’s for all and putting the countries around it to show that everyone is equal.  Then Mrs MacVicar entered my painting into the Show Racism the Red Card competion and I was a finalist at Hampden Park, Glasgow.  I got a certificate and a prize of two cinema tickets.

Miss Mackenzie and Miss Macleod took a team of boys and girls to run in the Cross Country Competition in Alness.  Every runner did well with the best performers being Ross MacLeod who was placed 5^th in the boys’ race and Chloe MacAskill who was 14^th in the girls’ race.
