The Scottish Ensemble's Highlands and Islands tour is always popular, and this year their concert at the Macphail Centre in Ullapool is one with a difference. The concert programme has been devised by students of Ullapool High School in collaboration with the Scottish Ensemble. It will include six world premières, composed and performed by students playing alongside the Ensemble.

Ullapool High School is delighted to announce that our hard work over the 18 months has been rewarded by our attaining Fairtrade School Status.

In order to gain this award the pupils in the school have had to achieve 5 goals:

  • Set up a Fairtrade School Steering Group with at least half pupils and which meets at least once a term.

  • Write and adopt a Fairtrade Policy which has the support of the Parent Council and is signed by the Head teacher.

  • Use and sell Fairtrade products as much as possible.

  • Learn about Fairtrade in at least three subjects in two year groups.

  • Take action for Fairtrade at least once a term in the school and once a year in the community.

Past activities included a Coffee Morning, Soup and Sandwiches, making promotional bookmarks, producing a radio broadcast and devising a board game. Along with this the topic of Fair Trade has been used in a variety of classes as means of enhancing learning through the use of real life materials - many thanks to the staff who have helped with this.

The current Steering Group are continuing to work on promoting Fairtrade and are busy on a letter writing campaign for Sports Clubs to promote Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight, organising a Fairtrade Ready Steady Cook and a Coffee Morning.

I'd personally like to thank the members of Ullapool Fairtrade group for their support over this time and look forward to our continuing partnership.
