A kickboxing champion has balanced the commitment of competing at the highest level with securing five Highers.
Lauren Kee, 17, is now returning to school for 6th year and will continue her studies with a vocational course in child nursing and midwifery.
The Barrhead High pupil said: “I’m so happy with the results because I had to balance studying with my training commitments.
“I train two days a week before school and then every day after school – but I just loved kickboxing from the moment I started it when I was five.
“I’ve been to European Championships and World Championships and will definitely continue kickboxing, but I also want to go into nursing.
“I love working with kids, which I do through my coaching commitments, so to be able to do that as a nurse would be amazing.”
