Bad weather prevented a number of teachers from attending a briefing meeting in Stirling about a pilot scheme for the Pope Francis FAITH AWARD, with some people having to turn back due to road and traffic conditions.  Those who managed to attend gave very positive feedback on the suggested approach and resources which will be provided early in 2014 in time for the scheme to be launched by the start of Lent.  Detailed notes will be sent to all the schools involved during w/b 9th December.
