Glasgow Schools Adventure Race

Glasgow Gaelic School are Glasgow Schools Adventure Race Champions!!! This was the first year we had entered the competition and we had two teams involved along with 23 other schools. The event is very well organised with all schools competing in 5 different events, all against the clock! The events were: Orienteering, mountain biking, obstical course, team building and kayaking. We had a boys team and a girls team entered:



Boys
Lewis Dickson
Lewis Grimmer
Zach Ronan
Fraser Watt 
Jacob Connelly and 
Conall Whyte



Girls
Mairi MacDonald
Frances Driscoll
Charlotte Moock
Mia Paton
Sarah Campbell
Amy Craig



With so many events and everything against the clock the day was a definite test for all schools involved. 


It was brilliant to hear the news that the boys team had won! The girls team finished in a very respectable 15th place, beating the only other all girls team, a number of boys teams and mixed teams too. With most of the SGG pupils finishing S3 and the rest S4 the school will have another couple of years to take part in this event with possibly the same teams.
