Young Scot
We are currently working towards becoming a Young Scot accreditation.
Young Scot is the national information and citizenship organisation supported by the Scottish Government for young people aged 11-26 in Scotland.
Young Scot also provide opportunities for young people across Scotland in order to help develop their educational and professional development.
We have formed a Young Scot ambassador group in the school - they will be working hard over the next few weeks to share the benefits of Young Scot with us all.
The organisation issues the Young Scot National Entitlement Card to young people aged 11-26. This provides cardholders with discounts for goods and services across Scotland and certain European countries. As well as being part of the National Entitlement Card Programme that runs in Scotland it is also a proof of age card. Find out more
Young Scot also have a rewards scheme where users can earn reward points and then in turn collect rewards. Find out more
Free bus travel scheme
Young people aged 5 to 21 are able to access the new free bus scheme from 31 January 2022 using the National Entitlement Card (NEC) or Young Scot branded NEC.
Applications are now open. For more information and to apply for the card, visit the Young person's free bus travel scheme website. (If you are under 16 your parent/carer must apply for you - we have emailed all parents and carers about this).
If you cannot apply online and do not have the required identification please pick up a paper application form from the school office. Please note processing times can take up to 4 weeks to apply by this method. The quickest way to apply is online at the Young person's free bus travel scheme website. More information is here.
If you currently pay to get the bus to and from school, please speak with Mr Hamilton.
The school works with the Stirling Council Senior Phase and Youth Participation team to register sign pupils up for their Young Scot card during their first year of Stirling High.
