This was an article that actually got published in the Cumbernauld News. I am sure I have more somewhere, but I only managed to find a couple of them before I moved.
A group of fifth year students from St Maurice’s High School, Cumbernauld put on a Christmas talent show as part of their Young Enterprise project.
They organised the sell out event to aid their company Impact Enterprise, formed under the Young Enterprise scheme a British charity that aims to enhance the business skills of young entrepreneurs. Local businesses provide business advisers, who give valuable information, to the Young Enterprise teams at participating schools. Graham Auld and Karen McCole from Her majesty’s Revenue and Customs were the advisers chosen for St Maurice’s.
Months of planning and organisation finally came together when pupils and teachers alike performed a wide range of acts under the scrutiny of ‘celebrity’ judges, Cathie Craigie, local MSP and Michael O’Neill, the director of education. The variety of performances ranged from duets, dance routines and gymnastic tricks. Prizes were given for the top three acts with Bad Day, a local band, taking first place for their performance of No Doubt’s Don’t Speak.
It wasn’t only the participants of the show that had the chance to win, the audience were treated to a raffle with a great selection of prizes. One lucky person won a free hairstyle after buying the winning show programme. Overall the night was a huge success for both performers and audience.
