  • Motion type: Standard Motion
  • Motion reference: S6M-20612

That the Parliament congratulates the South Morningside Primary School girls’ football team on winning the Edinburgh Schools Cup; notes that the team was initially presented with a small plastic trophy in contrast to the larger trophy awarded to the boys’ winners on the same day; commends the players for campaigning and raising concerns with the Edinburgh Primary Schools Sports Association; welcomes the subsequent presentation of a new trophy of equal stature to recognise the girls’ achievement, and notes that this outcome highlights the importance of fairness, respect and equal recognition for girls’ successes in school sport.
