Amazing Things
Members of the Awards Network worked together to produce an awards guide detailing the various awards and highlighting their contribution to young people’s achievement and the Curriculum for Excellence.
Originally made available in July 2008, the most recent update of this guide is called Amazing Things 2, and was made available as a free download in December 2009. Please download Amazing Things 2 below.
We are now working on developing Amazing Things 3, and would value any feedback that you might have to help us to improve. Access the survey here, or alternatively contact Steven Greig at steven.greig@youthscotland.org.uk or call 0131 554 2561.
