They gave us lots of detailed and inspiring answers for our article and were very helpful and their wonderful teacher –was very smart and caring for her pupils ans was very accepting and nice about it all, and was very nice to invite us to their celebration. We are very grateful and happy that they decided and were very happy to invite us.
During our visit, we managed to interview members of the LGBT support group from lots of different year groups.
One pupil shared with us that we should be ourselves “…and be comfortable with who you are and don’t listen to what people are going to say as long as your happy nothing else really matters.”

On Friday 19th of febuary, Leigha, Ross and Miss Reid went to Duncanrig Secondary School to find out more about Duncanrig's fantastic LGBT group and to attend Duncanrig High School's LGBTQI+ celebration morning. It was a fantastic event - the school were opening their own student-led barista bar in their library! Once we had arrived at Duncanrig we met two lovely pupils named Shannon and Adam and they were very nice and seemed like very caring people.
Later on we were inroduced to five other group memebers named: Jordan, Kaje, Damon, Dan and Shannon (another Shannon!). They were very accepting and also very welcoming and patient with us. Watch our day below - we filmed & edited the clip!
