An important letter about changes to the security of our school campus has been emailed to all Parents and Carers this morning. A copy is available below.
The changes being implemented must be followed by everyone who uses our school campus. The measures are being introduced to keep all of our young people, staff and school community safe.
Last term pupils from the Technology Department visited a World of Work Taster event, organised by DYW at Fort George. They experienced seven hands-on, interactive work tasters from various local businesses.
Our Higher Business Management pupils got the opportunity to improve their understanding of operations management recently, when they visited West Fraser Ltd and received a tour of the site. The visit also inspired pupils with regards to careers. A huge thank you to the staff at West Fraser for supporting the school.
Last week our three National Business Management classes spent a morning at Johnstons of Elgin, receiving a tour of the mill and an insight into manufacturing and ethical issues which relate to their classroom learning on the Operations topic. Pupils also received a Marketing presentation and came up with some very creative marketing concepts of their own to promote the company’s luxury cashmere and vicuna knitwear. The trip ended with a visit to McDonalds and a great day out was had by all.
Thanks to Johnstons of Elgin for their continued support with this trip each year.
Following yesterday’s incident, a letter has been emailed to all parents and carers this morning to provide clarity and reassurance to our community.
We had a fantastic trip to the Scottish Parliament last week to watch FMQs in the chamber with our Modern Studies and Politics seniors. We also spent time with our MSPs asking questions and discussing local issues and all topped off with a little free time in Edinburgh. Our seniors were brilliant and a real credit to both themselves and our school. We even appeared on TV! A brilliant trip, well done everyone.
Mrs Lothian, Mr Gray and Mrs McGonigal.
We are working hard to assign pupils to activities as fairly as possible. We will share this info with pupils ASAP. Thanks for your patience.
Yesterday we welcomed an inspiring line-up of professionals to Culloden Academy for our first DYW Panel Event!

Huge thank you to our amazing panelists and senior students who made the event such a success

Come and say hi, have a chat, or just stop by for some free snacks.
We’re a friendly team, here to support young people across Inverness.
You can talk to us about anything that’s on your mind — school, friendships, home, or just everyday stuff — or simply come along to see what we’re about.
We also have a safe space in Inverness city centre, open in the evenings and weekends, where you can relax, grab some food, or chat with staff if you ever need support.
No pressure, no judgement — just a safe space, friendly faces, and some snacks.
A groupof pupils visited the Inverness Ice Centre yesterday to try Curling and take part in coaching. They all had a great time.
