Our S1 students are taking part in the Rapid Response Challenge today.
Rapid Response is ideally suited to Curriculum for Excellence as an interdisciplinary project which challenges pupils to consider the importance of STEM subjects – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Students compete in groups of 6 completing a variety of problem-solving tasks including purifying water, building shelters and transporting water.
Here’s hoping the weather holds!

Well done to our S1 students who all took part in the Rapid Response Project yesterday. Rapid Response is an inter-disciplinary project, created by the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE), that invloves S1 students working on a scenario involving the rebuilding of a hurricane-devasted country.
Students competed in groups to build plastic shelters, purify water, create wind turbines and to improve communication through ICT. Well done to all of S1 students.

This week our 1st year students are taking part in a Institute of Civil Engineering project called Rapid Response. Students were given a Motivation Talk on Friday of last week, which got students thinking about the effect of a hurricane in Honduras.
S1 classes this week are all based around the aftermath of a hurricane. Students are taught about the difficulties people face after a hurricane and how engineers can help with fixing roads, water supplies and communications.
On Thursday, 30th May students will complete the Rapid Response project with a Challenge Day. Students will compete in teams building temporary shelters, purifying water and cycling.
We hope S1 enjoy the Rapid Response Project.
