| The event was to honour this year’s schools anti-racism competition.
First prize in the P1-4 poetry section was won by Shun Ming Wong, Kaleem Haneef, Rhaighan Gilligan and Shannon Smith of Ancrum Road Primary School, Dundee, who were accompanied to the National Stadium by bilingual teacher Ruth McConnachie and head teacher Mrs O’Rourke. The school received £750.
