Heidi Floyd returns  from an amazing three months in Malawi as part of her gap year experience..  

We are proud to announce that our work through the Watson's Malawi Partnership has been recognised by the Scotland Malawi Partnership and their new school partnership awards. George Watson's College was one of five schools to be win the award on the back of a two-minute video our pupils put together, explaining how we work in partnership with our friends and colleagues in Malawi to provide real and lasting support for each other. The judges commended us for our range of interests from supporting maternity units and infant homes and working with local schools to create more opportunities to learn from each other to tackling conservation challenges and bringing sport to more people. The award was presented by the hugely inspirational William Kamkwamba, author of 'The Boy who Harnessed the Wind". You can take a look at our award winning video here and read our article on GWC news .

We're back in the headlines thanks to the Sport & Culture's work with Hibs football team.  Edinburgh Evening News recently heard about the strips Watson's Malawi Partnership took out in October. They published a fantastic article all about the importance of sport for motivating communities and spreading the word on the importance of protecting our environment. We are incredibly grateful to Hibs FC for donating dozens of sports kit and equipment.  Click here for the full story .
