Fair Trade at Arran High

On Thursday 22nd March a highly successful and unusual event took place at Arran High School – a combined concert and fashion show.  This highly entertaining evening showcased many talented students from all year groups who sang, played wind and brass instruments and performed at the wonderful new piano. In addition, the evening highlighted the creative abilities of those who had designed and invented their own incredible outfits out of crisp packets and newspapers as well as delighting us with a reminder of costumes from school shows past, striking outfits for wedding guests and some cute bunny costumes for Arran High School staff!
At the same time the evening had a serious purpose – to raise awareness of Fair Trade and the many fashionable items available through Fair Trade clothing outlets. The young people modelled these with aplomb and elegance and several members of the audience went on to purchase Fair Trade items from the show at the interval.
All round, this was an evening which not only gave much pleasure through talented performance  but encouraged a worthwhile cause in Fair Trade.
