That the Parliament congratulates Dyce Academy for achieving the Green Flag Award from the environmental charity, Keep Scotland Beautiful, for demonstrating its continued commitment to excellence in sustainable education; notes that the school joins 19 others across Aberdeen that have received this award; understands that pupils have been working over the past year to raise awareness on littering, have organised new bins throughout the school grounds, created an outdoor learning space, which includes an orchard and raised growing beds, and planted a hedgerow to increase biodiversity along the wildlife corridor from the River Don to the Dyce community; acknowledges that they have also become a “Cycle Friendly School”, which encourages pupils to walk and cycle where possible; commends all Dyce Academy pupils and staff who have been involved in achieving the Award, and wishes them all the best for the future.
