Young Enterprise Scotland - Farr High School

I'm just back from the Scottish Final of the YES competition held at Hampden Park.  As we saw in previous posts, Highland & Moray were represented by "Off Our Rockers" from Farr High School and were competing against 16 teams from across Scotland.

Although our team didn't win the overall prize, they did receive the Runner Up Award for their Report and won the SEPA Environmental Award.

The winners were  "The Super Amazing Ginger Company" from Dumbarton Academy who will represent Scotland at the UK Final in July.

A great time was had by all and it was a fitting climax to months of hard work by the Farr team and their Link Teacher, David Charnley which saw them win top prize at the Highland Final and at the Trade Fair competition in Stratford  It's been a memorable journey for us all and, hopefully, an experience that will stay with the team as they pursue their chosen careers.
