School of excellence: St Aloysius' College
ST ALOYSIUS' College marks 150 years at the heart of Glasgow in 2009 but its Jesuit foundations are as fresh today as ever. The co-ed Catholic school instils values such as dignity of the human, good conscience, compassion, and putting skills and talents to work for the benefit of others. This has given St Aloysius' its best year yet for charitable fundraising with some £200,000 collected.
