Pupils at a Helensburgh primary school took to the streets to take part in a protest demanding equality for all.

Children at John Logie Baird Primary School marched to Colquhoun Square on Friday, March 29 with handmade signs campaigning against discrimination.

By taking part in the protest, pupils hoped to share their knowledge of social justice to make a difference in the community.

Headteacher Carolyn Randall said: “The children are our future - they are our leaders of the future.

“By stamping out discrimination and inequality in this modern world they will secure a better world to live in filled with peace and respect.

“That is what our children are standing for today and they want their voice heard.

“They want to make a difference and their passion shines through.”

The protest comes after pupils spent six weeks learning about social justice and equality in various ways.

Children explored a range of topics such as homelessness, LGBT discrimination, sexism, ageism, and festivals from around the world.
