ACTIVE SCHOOLS RAISE £190.90 FOR SPORTS RELIEF

Over fifty pupils from S1 and the cluster P7s took part in a fun afternoon of sports to raise money for Sports Relief.

The event organised by Rory Couper and Suzanne Laing (Active Schools Haddington Cluster) brought together a group of pupils who took part in Basketball, Table Tennis, Trampolining, Dance and Dodgeball. The group of participants also donated £2 each and completed a mile run in a relay format.

Active Schools use this event as a Transition experience for the primary pupils who will be attending Knox Academy next year. It allows them to meet the current first years and make new friends, meet some of the school sports club coaches and see the facilities that they will be using next year. This is the second time the event has fallen on Sports Relief and is a great way to raise money and awareness for the charity.

Early in the day teachers and S6 pupils guessed 'who could keep it up the longest' and raised £90 to add to the total.
