On Tuesday, our S3 Girls Do STEM group enjoyed an inspiring visit to the beautiful Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s Highland Wildlife Park!
Following on from her visit to Culloden Academy last week, L&D Officer, Iona, gave us a fantastic tour through the drive-through reserve before hosting an insightful Q&A session with six incredible women from across the park. Each shared their own journey into conservation and highlighted the vital role women play within STEM industries, including zoology and wildlife conservation.
A huge thank you to RZSS for making us feel so welcome and for giving our pupils such an inspiring experience.
This trip also marked the end of our 2025/2026 Girls Do STEM programme. Throughout the year, our pupils have had the opportunity to learn from an amazing range of organisations, including Highlands and Islands Airways Ltd, Morrison Construction, SSEN, West Fraser, NHS Highland, Uile-bheist Distillery and Brewery, RESILIENCE Medicine, and finally the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. Learning about the importance of women in STEM has hopefully shown our fabulous S3 girls that they truly can be anything they want to be…. with passion, determination, and hard work.
