Johnston Carmichael Visit

The Higher Accounting class had a visit yesterday from Johnston Carmichael (Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors). Pupils heard about services provided, different careers in accountancy, career pathways and career opportunities.

Thank you to Andrew and Lewis for an interesting and inspiring presentation.

Royal Conservatoire Visit

Twenty-two of our Higher and Advanced Higher students interested in careers within the creative industries attended a community arts workshop from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland facilitated by Developing The Young Workforce

It was a very informative session, increasing our student’s knowledge of pathways into the arts, specifically the new RCS BA course. Huge thank you to Jessie and Louise for visiting.

Lost Property

In recognition of the high quantity of pupil possessions- shoes, coats, bags, earphones that are never claimed we have decided to streamline our system to help get more of it back to pupils. With immediate effect, if your child tells you they have lost something ask them to retrace their steps the next day- anything found will be kept where it was found until the end of the next school day. After that it will be handed into the janitor and your child can complete a simple Google Form (linked below and at the bottom of the sidebar to the right) to let us know what is missing. Every Friday we will download the list, match it to the missing items and return them to the pupil in question.

Crochet Club

The crochet club has been working hard to make hats and scarves to be donated as part of Culloden Academy’s contribution to the 2024 Blythswood Shoe Box Appeal.

A massive thank you to Sophie Jones and Scott MacKay (S6), Mrs Needham, Mrs MacLean and Miss MacLeod for creating these cosy items!

ELC Halloween

The Early Learning and Childcare class had great fun this morning carving pumpkins.  This linked in to our topic on Play where we learn all about how play supports children’s development.  The students did a great job in putting their theory into action. 

Happy Halloween!
