Congratulations to Katie Archibald (2T3) and Perry Stewart (1T3) who recently won prizes in the Learning for Life Awards, after a series of lessons in RME.

Katie won 1st prize in the Learning for Life Awards (Level 2) and Perry won 2nd prize (Level 1) so Knox Academy was well represented in the awards.

Some Background on the Programme

The Values Poster Awards is a rewarding learning activity for S1-S4 pupils.  It helps them to explore their character, ideals and values through a unique poster template using supporting resources.  It is an innovative, personalised learning opportunity that enables young people to identify and examine their core values and character qualities, helping them build a foundation for lifelong practical wisdom.

In Scotland, the programme reflects the words inscribed on the mace of the Scottish Parliament: wisdom, justice, compassion, integrity, as well as the aspirations of the Scottish Government’s A Curriculum for Excellence which seeks to enable all children to develop their capacities as successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors to society.
