Many thanks to Jill Rennie from Alzheimer Scotland who visited the school to speak to the pupils about dementia. All S1 to S3 pupils took part in the two workshops during PSE. The workshops explored issues surrounding dementia and how we can look to be more understanding of people who have dementia. Pupils were presented with certificates to recognise their increased understanding of dementia.
