Glasgow is a very multicultural city and welcomes people from all over the world , who now call this beautiful city their home. However, not all of the people moving to Glasgow find it easy to adjust to the language and the different way of life and face many challenges.

The students of the Strathclyde Business School aim to help some of these people to have the best life possible in this vibrant and diverse city.

Annette Street Primary is a school located in the heart of Govanhill, which is considered to be the most ethnically diverse area in Glasgow. This is also reflected in the pupils attending Annette Street Primary, with a number of pupils coming originally from Eastern Europe and making Glasgow their home.

The teachers at Annette Street dedicate a lot of hard work to the school and helping the children achieve the best education, so it would be great to let them know they have support from the community in Glasgow.

Raising money for the school could help them to provide new resources to enhance the learning environment as well as improving the communication skills of the children. This could help the pupils improve their social and language skills to ensure a brighter future and give them the same opportunities as others.

We appreciate any contribution, as even small amounts can mean a big difference to the wee people of Annette Street Primary!

Here are some ideas of what the money can be used for:

1.) £10 would help buy reference books for the new library which can help the children improve their English skills.

£10 could also be used for entrance fees to the zoo, safari park or farm park which would be a very valuable experiential learning opportunity for bilingual children.

2.) £20 would help the school towards the cost of school uniforms for some of the most disadvantaged children.

£20 could also be used to buy ingredients for a class picnic which would be the basis of a lesson about healthy eating and link to an opportunity for outdoor learning.

3.) £50 could buy pencils, pads and pens in order to allow the children to complete their homework.

4.) £150-£180 can be used to fund a bus for outdoor educational trips which would give the children the opportunity to learn outside the school and also give them the chance to see more of Scotland.

5.) £500-£1000 can be used towards the renovation of a new school library in the old janitor’s house and to buy new books. Many of the children do not own books of their own and this can be a space where they can read to improve their English skills and learn more about the value of reading and books for their future. This would help them continue on their reading journey after winning the First Minister's reading challenge.
