Pupils at St Mungo's High School are speaking out against Falkirk Council's school bus cut proposals, which could lead to 33 routes being axed.
Across Falkirk district, more than 1000 pupils are set to lose their season tickets. But while many assumed they could just use their under-22 cards instead, they are now realising that the change will mean many services being axed entirely.
St Mungo's sixth year pupil Declan McGavin is one of the student representatives on Falkirk Council's education, children and young people's executive and he believes strongly that the voice of young people needs to be heard.

In February, the 17-year-old launched a petition that now has hundreds of signatures and he is hoping to get many more before he presents it to the education executive.
To help spread the word, Declan organised an emergency meeting of St Mungo's High School's pupil parliament, which saw its biggest ever turnout, with pupils from all year groups all eager to put their points across.
"I called it when I realised this would impact almost everyone in the school, one way or another," said Declan.
Falkirk Council says the changes to buses could save £1 million a year and points out that the legal responsibility for getting children to school lies with the parents, not the local authority.
Declan and his fellow sixth years, Caitlin O'Donnell (17) and Callum Muir (18), won't be affected themselves as they will all have left by August when the proposals would start if they are accepted.
But the teenagers were shocked to realise just how big an impact the proposals will have, with some children having to walk up to six miles a day in all weathers.

Hope there’s enough Milky Ways and “dry-ass Cinnamon Toast Crunch” to go around next time. Danny McBride isn’t ruling out a sequel to 2013’s This Is the End if co-creators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg write a script.
In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast, host Mike DeAngelo laughs and cries all over again for Apple TV+’s new dramedy, “Shrinking.” Created by Bill Lawrence (“Scrubs,” “Ted Lasso”), Brett Goldstein (“Ted Lasso,” “Thor: Love and Thunder”), and Jason Segel (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “How I Met Your Mother”), the show follows Jimmy (Segel), a therapist who has gone off the deep end after the death of his wife.
Never Give A Sucker An Even Break was a 1941 movie from W.C. Fields. But it could have been the theme to Bill Maher’s Real Time on Friday night.
As we tune in to watch the ever popular cast of Gogglebox comment on the latest TV highlights we often see them in their homes alongside family members or close friends, but what we don't always see is their relationships with their partners. Some partners of the stars of the show have made a brief appearance on the hit Channel 4 series but often the significant others remain somewhat of a mystery and are kept out of the spotlight.
Oh boy, oh boy, Jimmy’s closet has caught the attention of Shrinking audiences — and are contacting costume designer Allyson Fanger for details.
Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Italian Canadian actor Giacomo Gianniotti, who played Dr. Andrew DeLuca on “Grey’s Anatomy,” is set to star in “Inganno,” Netflix’s Italian adaptation of the U.K. TV series “Gold Digger” that starts shooting this week on the Amalfi coast. The taboo-breaking show – which was dubbed a “toyboy thriller” by the British press – depicts the passionate and turbulent relationship between an older woman and a man who is half her age. In this case the affair disrupts and subverts Italian social and family norms. A “Gold Digger” adaptation for Indian audiences is also reportedly in the works. “Inganno,” which means “deceit” in Italian, is being directed by Neapolitan auteur Pappi Corsicato whose “The Seed of Discord” competed at the Venice Film Festival in 2008. Corsicato’s visual style is often compared to Pedro Almodovar, of whom he has been an assistant.
A flasher who preyed on teenage girls as they were getting buses to school has been spared jail after a court heard the harm caused was 'relatively modest'.
Ready to roll with the homies again. Stacey Dash would totally be down for a Clueless sequel — as long as director Amy Heckerling was involved.
Naman Ramachandran Annie Proulx’s short story “Brokeback Mountain” is set for a stage adaptation on London’s West End. The story was previously adapted as a 2005 film by Ang Lee, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, playing Jack and Ennis respectively, who take jobs on the remote Brokeback Mountain and develop a relationship. It won three Oscars – for direction, adapted screenplay and score. The West End adaptation will star Mike Faist (BAFTA-nominee for “West Side Story”) and Lucas Hedges (Oscar-nominee for “Manchester by the Sea”) as Jack and Ennis. Both actors will be making their West End debuts.

It turns out, Paul talks to Jimmy about more than just potatoes. Harrison Ford may wear his personal fedora on Shrinking, but it was Jason Segel‘s love for a jumpsuit that piqued his interest off set.
Baz Luhrmann has arrived at the Oscars with his family!
A column chronicling conversations and events on the awards circuit.
Baz Luhrmann says it would be “an amazing historical moment” if Elvis cinematographer Mandy Walker were to triumph at Sunday’s Academy Awards. To quote Lizzo, “It’s been too long,” the filmmaker tells me last night at the Australian Oscar nominees soirée held in the Chateau Marmont’s penthouse suite.
Tipping their hats to a legend. Shrinking‘s Paul (Harrison Ford) can be counted on for a lot — being Jimmy’s mentor, uttering “woof” under his breath, carrying a water bottle and talking about potatoes. Oh, and let’s not forget about wearing a fedora.
60-year-old director shares 19-year-old Lilly with his wife, Catherine Martin, 58, who he married in 1997 and is still with.

Now the pair’s eldest child has spoken out about the time, in which she recalled being ‘followed to school’ by ‘paparazzi’.
