The pupils of St. Fillan's Primary school scooped first place in Scottish Power's "Best Budding Business" award. The school nominated their Enterprise Team for the sheer hard work and determination they have shown in their "Fairtrade Cafe" enterprise project. They were presented with a framed certificate and cheque for £1000 by Anne Munro-Easton from Scottish Power. They planned their project then sought funding from the "dragons" as part of Renfrewshire Council's Dragon's Den initiative. The cafe will open to the public tomorrow and the pupils have been honing their business skills on the pupils and staff. The cafe now runs smoothly and will be a sustainable business within the school which will benefit the many charities the children have chosen, as well as offering a choice of fairtrade goods to the school and local community.
