Applecross Primary School wins national recycling challenge

APPLECROSS Primary School has won a national recycling challenge.

The school won the Community Resources Network Scotland ‘Re-use versus Recycle’ challenge for their humorous silent commercial, in vintage black and white comedy style, which displayed examples of items that can be re-used and recycled.

Head teacher Robert Gill said: ‘I am so proud of our pupils. This was a great opportunity for them, learning about the environment and how we can re-use and recycle. I would like to thank our teacher Tom O’Halloran for all his hard work alongside the children in developing their skills in planning, filming and editing such a creative piece of work.’
