14 Green Flag for Hutchie

In October Hutchesons’ was awarded the green flag from EcoSchools Scotland in recognition of work in recycling and sustainability. What makes this flag particularly special is that it is a joint award for Kingarth Street and Beaton Road, a tribute to the great work being done by pupils and staff on both sites. Paula Love from “Keep Scotland Beautiful” conducted the Frau Daniela Wagner of Hans Sachs Gymnasium audit, and was most impressed by the range of our activities. outlines her proposals for the Erasmus project She met with staff and pupils from the primary and to staff at the three partner schools secondary during her visit, and heard first-hand about what our plans are for the future. We were delighted with the Erasmus+ is the new European Union programme for education, very positive and supportive report she presented to us, training, youth and sport. The aim is to foster collaborative asked us to accept her “warmest congratulations on what learning among pupils and students across Europe, and to was clearly a lot of hard work and collaborative effort across develop cultural understanding through visits and exchanges. your two establishments.” As a school committed to international education, we saw this programme as a good opportunity to strengthen our ties with existing European partners, and provide fresh opportunities for our pupils to experience life abroad. We had already completed a successful project on environmental design under the old Comenius scheme, and we found the experience very enriching, leading to new friendships.

“The application process is quite demanding, and many schools across Europe are keen to get involved”, explains our Erasmus coordinator, Depute Rector, Jim McDougall, “so we were delighted to be among the very lucky few to secure funding to work with our partners in Germany and the Netherlands on this Harald Fischer, Depute Head at Hans Sachs Gymnasium takes exciting two-year project.
