  • Submitted by: Neil Bibby, West Scotland, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Friday, 15 November 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-15455

That the Parliament commends the pupils of St James’ Primary School in Paisley for their engagement with Black History Month 2024; understands that the school’s pupils took part in a number of activities throughout the month, which allowed them to engage with themes including inclusion and diversity; notes that activities included learning about key historical figures through storytelling and music, watching thought-provoking films and performing in a showcase event for parents to demonstrate their knowledge; recognises that Layna McGhee, acting depute headteacher at St James’, led the initiative while also participating in Education Scotland’s award-winning Building Racial Literacy programme, and wishes pupils and staff all the best in their efforts to promote inclusion and understanding at their school and in the wider community.
