Everybody needs
good neighbours
 Susan said, “We had more than 200 pupils from S1 memorising words in Japanese, Arabic, Italian, French and Spanish. All did very well.”
A fantastic total of £6000 has now been raised by Vale of Leven Academy for Robin House — and for a very good reason.
Susan explained, “They’re our neighbours. We’re the closest school to Robin House and everyone in this area is very interested in the charity.
“Everyone is willing to get themselves and their kids involved.”
This is the fourth year of the language challenge and Susan hopes it’ll be a tradition that will continue to help CHAS for years to come.
One of the pupils, Dario Santi (12) from Balloch, said, “My dad is from Italy. My class was supposed to learn some Italian, but I wasn’t allowed because I already knew some.
“I learned Arabic instead. I knew how to count from one to 10 when we did the challenge, but I’ve forgotten it all now!”
