PUPILS from Clydebank High have achieved a youth-work based SQA accredited awards thanks to a council support service.
Working4U operates a successful partnership with the school by facilitating Youth Achievement Awards.
The award is peer assessed, portfolio-based, and provides participants with the freedom to develop their own challenges and targets.
Some of these challenges undertaken by youngsters have included planning and organising fundraising events including a pupil’s v staff football match and a sports raffle, raising more £2,000 in the process.

A further group of 14 pupils have begun their journey by successfully completing their first two award challenges.
