THEY came together to challenge the negative stereotype of young people in the media.

And this week they have made headlines of their own.

Earlston High School’s Media Group was named Community Group of the year at the 2015 Saltire Inspire Awards at the Volunteer Hall in Galashiels on Friday night.

Now in their third year, the awards honour Borderers aged between 12 and 25 for outstanding achievements and successes as individuals and groups in the fields of sport, community, music and the arts and volunteering.

For a special four page pull-out and keep feature on the awards, pick up a copy of this week's Border Telegraph - in shops today.
