Very, very important message here.

Thank you to Bannockburn High School for welcoming the Community Team and Ranger Helen to speak with students on Water Safety today. We covered Cold Water shock, what to do in an emergency, peer pressure , and Helen shared vital safety information about our local reservoirs. Before the holidays, many schools will be sharing important information regarding Water Safety, in classes and assemblies. Please support us by speaking with your young people about the potential dangers.

Good morning!

We’ve had a bit of a run on Clyde in the Classroom 2027 bookings since yesterday, with 40% of the places now allocated.

There’s still plenty of time to secure a place. We’ve sent details of the project to every Primary School Head Teacher across our eight local authority areas.

If your school has participated in previous years, we’d be very pleased to welcome you back.

If you are interested in taking part for the first time, drop us a line at [email protected] .

Our urban burns are always worth a look!
