Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - 
Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson will present the UNICEF Rights Respecting School award to the children of New Deer School on Friday 2 July (tomorrow) at 11.15am.
Over the past session the school has worked towards an understanding and a better practice of Children's Rights according to the Charter of the United Nations Convention on the rights of the child. This has involved an examination of the school ethos with regard to this and also a wider study of Global Citizenship. New Deer School was assessed by a representative from UNICEF and awarded Level 1 in the scheme.
Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:
“I’m absolutely delighted for the pupils and staff at New Deer School. This is a tremendous achievement to gain such a prestigious award.”
Karen Adam is now the MSP for Banffshire and Buchan Coast
