    Annual Review 2018 – 19

    ANNUAL REVIEW 2018 – 19 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela - 2 Foreword… 2018-19 was a year of self-reflection for the Active Schools team, having completed the Insights Personality test. Understanding others and appreciating our differences was one of the key learnings. This programme helped us build valuable working relationships and a network of partners, allowing Active Schools to make the impact they have made this year. The Active Schools team continue to work with and nurture senior pupils who officiate, coach, organise competitions, become Young Ambassadors who are our decision makers. Gaining relevant sports qualifications and valuable experience in delivery, the young people are able to Jude Salmon develop their employability skills. Active Schools Manager In today’s world we are affected by factors including stress, mental health, obesity and poverty. Taking part in sport and physical activity truly does make a difference to our lives and I hope that some of the stories you are about to read will illustrate this to you. The phrase, ‘healthy body, healthy mind’ says it all. Our bodies were designed to move and when we keep them healthy, we have a better outlook on life, and on learning. The most wonderful part of keeping fit and healthy is that it is fun, but as this annual review shows, it can also open doors into future careers through volunteering and coaching.
  • An Talla Solais

    An Talla Solais

    engage Scotland – Go & See funding report An Talla Solais An Talla Solais, Ullapool An Talla Solais is a community-led art centre in Ullapool on the northwest coast of Scotland. It hosts a wide range of exhibitions of contemporary art; runs classes, courses and events to enable people to connect with art; and offers studio space to artists and groups. Summary Sara Garnett (Events and Audience Development Coordinator), Sian Curley (Marketing Coordinator), Rachel Grant (Exhibitions Coordinator) and Joanna Wright (Manager) from An Talla Solais, (ATS), used the Go & See Grant to visit four arts organisations in the North East of Scotland: Northlands Glass (Lybster), Timespan (Helmsdale), Scottish Sculpture Workshop and Deveron Arts (Huntly). As An Talla Solais approached its tenth year, the organisation felt that it was important to review its practice relating to issues of access, equality and diversity, and that it would be useful to see how other practitioners in the North of Scotland address these issues. The four places visited have very different remits. Northlands Glass is a centre of excellence for glass making with regular artist residencies, masterclasses and symposia. Timespan is a heritage and arts centre with regular contemporary art exhibitions. The Scottish Sculpture Workshop has a range of sculpture facilities including a bronze foundry, iron foundry, ceramics studio and wood studio. Deveron Arts is a gallery without walls which uses Huntly as a site for a range of socially-engaged art practice. The group visited with the intention of finding out more about how this wide range of organisations deal with practical access issues of language and disabilities, and how interpretational methods engage visitors with exhibitions and events.

    The New Portobello High School and New St John's RC Primary School

    Item no Report no The New Portobello High School and New St John’s RC Primary School The City of Edinburgh Council 25 October 2012 1 Purpose of Report 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the project to build the New Portobello High School and, more specifically, to: • advise on the outcome of the recent appeal to the Inner House of the Court of Session; • consider the legal options that might secure part of Portobello Park as the site for the new school; • consider what alternative site options are available in the event that building the new school on part of Portobello Park does not, ultimately, prove to be possible; • consider the delivery of a new St John’s RC Primary School; and • seek approval for the proposed next steps. 2 Summary 2.1 In December 2006 Council approved Portobello Park as the location for the new Portobello High School and in December 2008 approved the project to replace the school as the first priority in the Wave 3 programme. The funding for the project is in place, planning permission granted and a principal construction contractor approved. In April 2012 Council formally approved the appropriation of the land at Portobello Park as the site of the new school having previously intimated its intention to do so. 2.2 Since the project was first approved by Council the threat of legal challenge has existed. A Petition for Judicial Review was lodged in the Court of Session in August 2011 on behalf of a local action group, Portobello Park Action Group (PPAG), challenging the Council’s legal right to use part of Portobello Park as the site for the new school.

Acting as convener ol the Scottish Committee for that event, the editor found that there was in existence no list of persons who took an acti^•p interest in such matters, either in Scotland or in any of the other Celtic countries. His resolve to meet this want was cordially approved by the lenxlers of tlie Congress circulars were issued to all wlrose addresses could be discovered, and these were invited to suggest the n-iines of others who ought to be included. The net result is not quite up to expectation, but it is better tlaan at first seemed probable. The Celt may not really be more shy or n.ore dilatory than men of other blood, but certainly the response to this elTort has not indicated on his pfirt any undue forwardness.
