S1 Random Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar 2024

Events
Newsroom

Welcome to our S1 Random Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar 2024!

Stranraer Academy’s hardworking staff members have nominated 15 fantastic first-years who have stood out either in class or as part of the wider school community.

Some are responsible citizens or confident individuals. Others have shone as successful learners or effective contributors. Many embody all of these qualities, and one is described as ‘an all-round good egg!’

Starting on Monday, and for the 15 school days of December, these pupils will share a random act of kindness for other S1 pupils to undertake, aiming to spread some Christmas cheer among their friends, school, families, and the wider community served by our wonderful school.

If your child or ward undertakes any of the ‘random acts,’ feel free to share it with us by sending the details to gw08gibblyndsay@glow.sch.uk.

Well done to all those chosen for being fabulous!

Each nominated pupil will appear below, along with a short video introducing their random act of kindness. Stay tuned to see them in action!
