The school encourage S5 pupils to get involved in the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) where they are given a hands-on experience of philanthropy that provides them with the skills and awareness to make a positive difference in their community.

The students researched the needs of their local community and identify the local social service charity they believed was the best placed to make a positive contribution.
