Scotland striker Holly Cram named ambassador for Game on Scotland

 

Scotland International hockey player Holly Cram has been confirmed as the first ambassador for Game on Scotland – the national education programme for Glasgow 2014.
Flagship legacy programme Game on Scotland uses the Commonwealth Games to inspire young people by providing a rich variety of learning opportunities across the curriculum, including a focus on global citizenship and health and wellbeing.
As Game on Scotland ambassador, Holly will be involved in engaging directly with pupils across Scotland, as a positive role model she will talk at and attend various events such as school assemblies, award ceremonies and prize-givings, as well as Games themed learning events.
The education programme is a partnership between Education Scotland, Scottish Government, Glasgow 2014, and Glasgow City Council. Since it launched six months ago, it has had over 35,000 visitors to the site, and an estimated 250,000 young people have benefitted from its online resources, information and opportunities.
Speaking at Comely Park Primary School, Falkirk, where pupils today enjoyed a hockey taster session led by Holly Cram, Commonwealth Games and Sport Minister Shona Robison said,
“We are working hard to ensure that we grasp the unique opportunity that the Commonwealth Games will present in 2014 to inspire children and young people.

“I’m delighted that Holly will join the programme as Ambassador, her drive and commitment as an athlete, makes her a great role model to inspire pupils and teachers alike. As well as her outstanding sporting achievements, she can talk knowledgably and credibly about achievement and attainment to inspire our young people.”
