THIRD Total Green School award for ‘Totally Creative’ Luss Primary

Luss Primary School on Loch Lomond has just heard that  it has won yet another Total Green School award.

This is the school’s third successive Total Green School award; and Luss is the only school ever to have won three in a row.

The calibre of its work is demonstrated in the fact that the school’s submission for 2014 – A Day in the Life of a Powan -  didn’t fit neatly in any of the award categories – but was of such a high standard that the judges created a category capable of containing it.

So Luss is the proud winner of the Special Award for Scotland 2014: Totally Creative.

And the school was also presented with a cheque for £500 for winning.

The powan is a species of freshwater whitefish natural to two lochs in Scotland – both in Argyll: Loch Lomond and Loch Eck. The powan has also been successfully introduced in two other sites, Loch Sloy, also in Argyll and the Carron Valley Reservoir, west of Denny in Stirling.

Children at Luss Priary school have become very knowledgable about the powan and have conducted researches into aspects of its life and survival.

With the school consistently recognised for its work in this way, it is strange but true that Argyll and Bute Council tried to close it, along with 25 other rural priamry schools, in 2010-11; and reassuringly true that the school’s determined parents saw off the marauders, with plenty of evidence on hand to assert the calibre of the educational experience offered there to their children.

It has been an inspirational school and an inspirational parent body in the toughest of times – and it’s still making the pace.
