Give Back To Give More

“I really enjoy the entrance into the arena, seeing everybody stop what they are doing and watch as we march in and around the field. I particularly like to see people laughing and smiling. The pipe band is a really supportive group and always make me feel welcome.  

I enjoy the games, because I get to spend time with my friends whilst supporting the year 6s as they compete. The atmosphere of the games is always so welcoming and fun, I love looking around the many different stalls.

The service opportunities I was able to support were the pipe band, helping with the raffle, assisting with the bookstore and marshalling the cross country.”

“At last year’s Gordonstoun Highland Games, I didn’t take part in the events, but I was still challenged differently through helping out. Helping to do the raffle and standing where we directed people through the cross-country track required organisation and staying focused for long periods. Supporting the runners and helping the event run smoothly showed me that service is just as important as competing. It made me realise that challenge doesn’t always mean taking part—it can also mean stepping up to help others.”
