HUTCHESONS'
Supporting charities is an important part of the Hutchie ethos and every year pupils, parents and staff fundraise for a specific charity.
Every session pupils and staff at both Kingarth Street and Beaton Road are given the opportunity to nominate a charity for support. All nominations are reviewed by the School Charity Committee, which is made up of pupils, teachers and support staff, and together a decision is made on the selected charity for the session.
