Sciennes is one of six city schools taking part in a City of Edinburgh pilot project to raise
awareness of 1 in 5 Child Poverty and explore ways to reduce the cost of the school day. Depute Head, Ms Carolyn Anstruther, accompanied five
Sciennes Pupil Council members to the
Scottish Parliament on Wednesday 14th March and she announced at
Assemblies on Friday 18th March that two
of our P2 pupils, Emma and Bella, have won an award for their idea to 'Make a Difference!'
They realised that events like World Book Day can cause expense for
families so cleverly suggested that school could keep a 'dressing up'
box of
costumes for pupils to borrow and their idea was awarded £250! Ms
Anstruther invited everyone to donate any unused costumes to school to
add to the collection for borrowing.
