Today’s #CPW starter task @braeshighschool.bsky.social focused on better investment in our communities. We asked pupils for their ‘big ideas’ for how we can better support our local community and they rose to the challenge with some great ideas.

Next week is #ChallengePovertyWeek and our amazing COSD Pupil Group @braeshighschool.bsky.social have some great activities planned to raise awareness of the challenges facing those living in poverty and to address the stigma caused by poverty. We’ll also be collecting donations for our Braes Pantry

Great day @cpagscotland.bsky.social COSD Children & Young People’s Summit. Huge thanks to Kirsty, Sara, Alison and all the pupil team for organising. Great to hear from so many young people about their fab ideas. Can’t wait to take them back to @braeshighschool.bsky.social COSD pupil group.

We are ready to go at @cpagscotland.bsky.social Cost of the School Day children and young people summit. #povertyawareness #COSD

First day back for our fab Braes Buddy, Jamie. Whilst supporting pupils with the return to school he’s been getting some reading in. We’re excited to be trialling a new project @braeshighschool.bsky.social with @braesmodlang.bsky.social where Jamie will listen to pupil talks. Muy bueno, Jamie! 🇪🇸🇩🇪

Really interesting morning as representatives from our #COSD and @braespupilvoice.bsky.social heard about period dignity and the reusable products on offer. Fascinating presentation and excited to explore how we can support period dignity and sustainability @braeshighschool.bsky.social

Great afternoon yesterday for our #COSD Pupil Group as they took part in #STEMNation @braeshighschool.bsky.social as we challenged participants to come up with creative ideas on how to make STEM more equitable and accessible. Some fab ideas offered! @dr-wilkie.bsky.social @mrvosser.bsky.social
