BIG-HEARTED pupils at Eastwood High School have been given awards for volunteering.

A group of senior students were presented with Saltire Awards after the youngsters acted as guides during an open weekend at their school last autumn.

Eastwood High opened last August and it took part in Doors Open Day in September so the local community could see inside the spectacular £29million building.

The pupils welcomed members of the public to the school and showed them round its state-of-the-art campus.

Saltire Awards are new Scottish honours designed to recognise the commitment and contribution of young people who help vol-untary organisations.

They are supported by the Scottish Government.
