Girvan Academy pupils recently took part in the Coca Cola ‘Real Business Challenge’ at the Scottish Finals in Stirling. During the competition the group of S3 pupils had to design a sustainability initiative to encourage more people to recycle. The pupils presented an excellent idea to the judges, combined with both radio advert and advertising logo boards. Although, they did not get through to the national finals, it was a huge achievement in reaching the Scottish finals. Well done to all involved.
