Wired on Radio Borders Interview: The Respectful Relationships Group from Galashiels Academy

Chloe, Carolina and Katie from the Galashiels Academy Respectful Relationships Group dropped into Wired to tell us all about their amazing work.

The Respectful Relationships Group is made up of young people from S1 to S6. They all have at least one thing in common; the desire to make their school a more welcoming environment for pupils, staff and visitors.

Over the last several months the group, which consists of around 30 young people, have been working hard to bring respectful relationships to the front of everyone's minds. They have created a range of colourful posters which promote consideration and kindness. Members also raise money for anti bullying charities through fundraising events like bake sales.

Their latest project has been to produce a moving audio production highlighting what respect means to each member of the group. The young people's talented efforts have been praised by teaching staff and their production will now be used to promote respectful relationships throughout school.

You can hear the full interview, including their audio production, right here.

The music accompanying the piece is called 'Carry Me Through The Trees' and was composed and played by Alexander Cowan.
