This was the first year of the Inter Schools Ski Race and 60 racers came along to make the day memorable. The schools taking part were Paisley Grammar, Gryffe High School, Clydebank High, Glennifer High, Park Mains, St. Columba’s Kilmacolm, Boclair Academy, Our Lady & St. Patrick’s, Hamilton College, Lenzie Academy, Hermitage Academy, Mearns Castle High School, St. Ninian’s (Giffnock), St. Ninian’s (Kirkintilloch), Bearsden Academy, Glasgow Academy.

 

There was almost an equal split of seasoned racers and novices letting us run two separate competitions. The highlight of the day was the team event where we had not only a mix of abilities but also the teams consisted of kids from different schools getting together for the first time and racing as a team. Great fun for the racers, watching parents and staff alike. Thanks go to everyone who took part, parents, teachers, helpers on the day, North Glasgow College and a particular thank you to Clydebank High who donated the Clydebank High Shield for the winning school and extra special thanks to Deputy Head Mrs Eileen Cummings who came up with the idea in the first place and put a lot of work into making the day a success.
