250 children and young people from eight primary schools and Doon Academy have taken part in the annual outdoor water safety day at Loch Doon. 

A special celebration event was held at St Joseph’s Academy recently that recognised children and young people from across East Ayrshire who are committed to introducing environmental change to their classrooms and communities.

East Ayrshire Council’s Greener Communities has been awarded funding to tackle the sticky issue of chewing gum on town centre streets.

A special time capsule ceremony was performed at St Sophia’s Primary where children and young people from all age groups within the school and Early Childhood Centre, led the celebrations.
