An awards ceremony was held to recognise the contributions of young people, staff, volunteers and the community to sport and physical activity.

The Beath Cluster Active Schools Awards Ceremony took place for the first time this year, and there were nine categories, which staff and youngsters could nominate people from their school for.

An independent committee then chose three finalists and a winner from the final three.

There were also four special recognition categories in which the recipients did not know what they were being awarded for.

The entire evening was overseen and delivered by departing Beath High School platinum ambassadors, Marlie Galloway and Harley Kiecher. The pair were given a gift on behalf of the cluster to recognise their support across the year.

Callum Reston, Beath Cluster Active Schools coordinator, said: "The key message behind the awards evening was to recognise the work around sport and physical activity across our cluster, and the people who make that possible.

“The ceremony demonstrates the true sense of belonging and pride we take in our cluster, and I'm delighted all of our nominees have been recognised for what they do"

"I particularly want to mention our platinum ambassadors, Marlie Galloway and Harley Keicher. The girls have been outstanding role models throughout this year, but in leading the ceremony demonstrate a new level of leadership skills and qualities.

“They did an outstanding job and are a credit to themselves, Beath HS, our cluster and their families who came to watch and support."

Over 200 people attended the event including head of service for education, Maria Llyod, as well as local councillors, head teachers and deputes from all cluster schools, community partners and family members.

Award categories included community volunteer of the year, S1-S3 leader of the year, S4-S6 young ambassador of the year, among others.

Chelsey Alexander, a teacher at Cowdenbeath Primary School, added: "It was an amazing evening, so lovely to see all the hard work from our learners brought together and celebrated.

“Well done to the ambassador for organising it all!"
