Saturday Night Football a Success

The 8 week long Floodlit Football Programme which has been running from St. Andrews University Sports Centre came to a conclusion last weekend (26/11). The Programme was run in conjunction with University Staff and supported by other agencies and youth Groups set out to target S1-S6 pupils from the Madras College catchment area. It has been a great success and looks set to be continued in the Spring of 2012. Community Sergeant Brian Poole along with Local Community Constables Phil Nish and Grant Ogilvie attended the sessions which attracted 30-40 young people on each Saturday evening. Since the inception of the Community Engagement Model, one of the priorities for St. Andrews has been Youth Disorder/Anti-Social behaviour and it is hoped that initiatives such as this helps with the reduction in reported incidents.


 
Inaugural CEM Meeting with Madras Pupils - 7th November 2011

The inaugural meeting for the pupil Community Engagement Model held at Madras College, South Street Building was extremely well received by pupils from the 5th and 6th forms. The pupils that attended the meeting were very keen to put their point of view across and to air their concerns.

The pupils and officers discussed the concerns and agreed the following priorities:
1. Problem with ex-pupils' presence in the vicinity of the School and on School bus services
2. Dishonesties within School
3. Smoking within the School grounds

The pupils then discussed with the officers how these priorities should be acted upon. This highlighted actions for the community officers to address.
