Morrison’s Academy pupils use their collective voices to send a plea - it’s time to save the world
Georgie Delaney’s son, Brandon, a devoted climate activist, attends the school. Brandon’s love for the planet was nurtured last academic year when he set up
www.savetheplanet.academy as part of a school project. Georgie Delaney, MBE, co-founder of The Great Outdoor Gym Company,
said “My first ever memory was Live Aid in 1985. Bob Geldof drew people into action then through music. I believe we need his spirit now, not for the children but for the grown-ups to act now. Politicians business people, organisations, schools, families, we all need to live more sustainably. We have under a decade to do this to prevent irreversible damage and there is no time to waste.” On Friday 5 November, the pupils were filmed signing and singing the new

n Friday 5 November, 136 Morrison’s Academy Primary pupils gathered together, ready to take action in hope that the world will listen to their
plea for change. Morrison’s Academy Primary School was chosen as the first school to be filmed singing the remake of the Band Aid Song fittingly renamed, ‘Action Time’. It is hoped that many schools will be involved and join the plea. With the eyes of the world on Glasgow for COP26, business woman
Georgie Delaney, MBE and music teacher Rebecca Hall obtained permission from Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to rewrite the famous song, ‘Feed the World’’ and have approached schools to help share the reworked songs poignant new message. Midge Ure, supporting the project via his LinkedIn feed said, “I’m
honoured to be a tiny part of this.” Former Morrison’s Academy pupil, Ewan McGregor, has also shown his
support by singing a few lines of the song and saying “I hope we the adults can address the climate situation, so that our children can continue to go to school and be children and we leave them a better, cleaner world to inherit.” Morrison’s Academy Primary School became involved in the project as
lyrics at Morrison’s Academy’s campus, Crieff. The hills and mountains served as their backdrop. The pupils stood together as a school community with the hope that their collective voices would be heard. The lyrics were poignant, “Save the world, stop the talk, let's start the action, save the world, children all deserve a future.” Ms Morven Bulloch, Head of the Primary School said, “Our pupils are
taught to think independently and are encouraged to be empowered and take on the world. In class they have been learning about climate change and why COP26 is such an important event. When the school was approached with this opportunity, we were delighted to be involved. Our Primary pupils sang their hearts out, they want to be heard and make a
difference. They want to be the agents of change and encourage other pupils and schools to use their collective voices.”
