Kilgraston baton bearer
Kilgraston nominates pupil baton bearer for Commonwealth Games 2014
KILGRASTON sixth former Sarah Anderson has been nominated to take part in the 2014 Commonwealth Games Baton Relay when it comes to Bridge of Earn in the lead up to the Opening Ceremony on 23rd July 2014.
The Queen’s Baton was launched on 9th October at Buckingham Palace where it embarked upon its epic journey around 70 commonwealth nations and territories. Over a period of 288 days, the baton will cover 190,000 kilometres and involve a third of the world’s population, making it the world’s most engaging relay.
Kilgraston was approached to nominate a pupil to carry the baton when it comes to the area, based on the following criteria:
- Someone who has made a positive contribution to the lives of others through community sport
- Someone who has undertaken voluntary work or contributed to schools or youth organisations
- Someone who has contributed towards greater inclusion for disadvantaged sectors of the community
- Someone who has been a role model or mentor to youth through sport
- Someone who has displayed a level of individual achievement against the odds
- Someone who has made a significant contribution to their local community
Sarah was nominated by Kilgraston pupils for her fundraising and contribution to both the local community and further afield. Fellow student Helen Gloistein was a close runner up.
