The students have engaged enthusiastically in the showcase events :-
The Diced Cap Devils Cauldron, Diced Cap Speed Networking and The Diced Cap Good Samaritan Awards. Several of their own imaginative satellite events and initiatives have often engaged the whole school community going across year groups and linking so many areas of the curriculum. Many members of school staff and parents have become variously involved.
At the dinner each academy will receive a Diced Cap Delta Challenge plaque in acknowledgement of all the hard work and good citizenship together with certificates of participation for the enterprise students’ portfolios. The Delta Challenge engages in the first instance high performing students from S4/S5/S6 but there are many students of excellence who may or may not be academic. To further foster a culture of ambition and achievement Diced Cap are affording management at each academy the opportunity to select one student of excellence from across the whole academy from whatever area :- sport, drama, music, media, communications, enterprise, good citizenship etc The student selected will receive a Diced Cap R.A.Y.S. Award plaque in acknowledgement of his/her excellence. This will be so inclusive and a powerful and positive outcome of the Diced Cap Delta Challenge sitting so well with the ethos of Diced Cap in encouraging selflessness and helping others.
The awards dinner will highlight the TOTAL COMMUNITY APPROACH of Grampian Police taking the lead in a successful partnership with Aberdeenshire Council and Aberdeen City Council to help fund delivery of the Diced cap Delta Challenge which in March 2008 was recently recognised with a bronze COSLA Award for Excellence.
VIP guests will include First Minister Alex Salmond, Chief Constable Colin McKerracher and Laura Mason, Head of Service Educational Development, Education Learning and Leisure, Aberdeenshire Council. They will present the awards along with representatives of the main corporate sponsors Tulloch Recruitment (Aberdeen) Ltd and AVC media Enterprises and several other corporate sponsors : - Finnies the Jeweller, Scotoil Services, Jasmine Holdings Ltd and Thorpe Molloy.
