Local schools each netted a cash boost of £100 thanks to the generosity of Hawick Shamrock Celtic Supporters' Club which raised the money at its sell-out charity dinner earlier this year.
Making the presentation are club secretary Scott Richardson, left, and treasurer Gordon Solley.
Pupils pictured accepting the cheques are Calum Renwick, Brogan Anderson and Jay Lamb, all Drumlanrig; Michael Boyle and Owen McWatters, both Burnfoot; Moragn Tait, Striches; Jarrid Davies, Wilton; and Sean Solley, Trinity.
