Inspire-Aspire National Bronze Finalist

On Monday June 16th Kate McKay – 3X – travelled down to Glasgow to attend the annual national awards for the Inspire-Aspire project. Participating pupils were challenged to reflect on their own strengths and weaknesses, research their own inspirational figure and envisage their hopes for the future (and what they would do to make them a reality).
