Over the course of this session, pupils have been involved in a variety of learning experiences and community based activities. In November and December they had the opportunity to participate in a work experience placement kindly offered by Tesco in Auchinleck.  The young people were involved in several departments within the store including bakery, checkouts, dairy, fruit and veg, entertainment and helping collect for the foodbank.  Tesco very kindly donated a Christmas tree to the school – shown in the photo.

More recently, December saw the pupils preparing, packing and delivering Christmas parcels to elderly folk in the community who were very pleased to receive them. One pupil was heard to say, “It’s great to give as well as get,” so this enterprise was a positive experience all round. A big thank you to staff, parents and Tesco for their generous donations which allowed us to make up 20 parcels.
