Mr Duncan’s 4A9 RMPS class decided to organise a coffee morning to raise funds for SAMH (The Scottish Association for Mental Health). This was as part of the SQA awarded Religion Beliefs and Values course which is being piloted in the department. It is an SQA awarded course recently developed for core RME.
The class learned about the issue of mental health and various ideas on how to benefit our local, national and international communities. The class then decided that fundraising for a mental health charity was the best option on how to benefit – and put the class values into action.
Pupils sent out invitations to staff and made all the arrangements. As part of the event which took place last Friday pupils also organised a raffle of a clown cake made by Miss Davidson in Home Economics and I was delighted to win this. The picture below shows Caitlin Judd and Josh Doherty presenting me with the cake.
In total the class raised £94 for SAMH. Well done to all those who were involved.
