Lockerbie Academy Fairtrade
Group
After the summer term
and as a result of the South African day it was decided to establish
Fairtrade groups of both staff and pupils. We have written a Fairtrade
policy and had two meetings where decisions have been made to
take Fairtrade forward in Lockerbie Academy.
|
We have
had a successful assembly which involved pupils being
told about Fairtrade and participating in a Fairtrade
quiz. We are also holding a tuck shop on Friday October
10th and there will be many more exciting events taking
place in the future.
Fairtrade protects
farmers in the developing world against exploitation,
providing them with decent wages and working conditions.
We are attempting to use Fairtrade products wherever possible.
Our Fairtrade policy tries to promote awareness in the
school and the wider community, we are trying to incorporate
this theme into lessons, whole school activities and events.

parents, staff and to local businesses in the surrounding
area.
We have 2 types of

case calendars which are £4 each. If you would
like to place an order please contact the school

Dumfries
High 2 v 6 Lockerbie Academy
Scorers: Sean Dunbar (2), Dean Smith (2), C Graham
(1), K Jackson (1)
Man of the match; Kieran McCrudden
Lockerbie started
brilliantly and were 3-0 ahead within 5 minutes
with some excellent passing and shooting moves.
Although some of the play became patchy Lockerbie
continued to dominate and were only deprived of
a bigger scoreline by the Dumfries goalkeeper who
pulled off a long list of saves. Lockerbie’s shooting
went a bit off but they still had a comfortable
win overall. Robert McGowan and Kieran McCrudden
made their debuts for the team.
Team: J McGinlay,
C Graham, D Graham, K McCrudden, R McGowan, K Jackson,
Z Caldwell, L Carrick, D Smith, S Dunbar, E Booth.

used).
