Over 140 pupils from the 11 Cowal Primary schools recently added the On the Move 2012 transition project at Dunoon Grammar School. This 5 day long visit involved pupils
* discovering who would be their new classmates and helping one another to discover the way round their new school (with the help of S6 peer mentors)
* following their S1year timetable and meeting their teachers
* completing a variety of lessons based around the transition to secondary school and in particular to Dunoon Grammar
* having the opportunity to try a number of the clubs and activities that will be open to S1 pupils.
The final day was spent attending a variety of workshops that had been organised through SUSTRANS. These included how to make your way safely to and from the new school and an input from Sergeant Mark Wilson of Strathclyde Police on internet safety and security.
Pupil evaluation of the On the Move 2012 programme has been extremely positive and the primary seven pupils have further developed their skills for learning, life and work!
Pupils from Dunoon Primary enjoy their visits.
It looked like a great day. My P7 children had 2 Induction Days at Hermitage Academy last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. We are a small school with less than 100 pupils and the Academy has about 1400 so it will be a BIG change. They are all very excited and positive about moving on.
