S6 Young Enterprise Scotland Sign Up

Any S6 student who is interested in participating in the Young Enterprise Programme for the coming session should join the Young Enterprise 2020-21 Microsoft Team using the joining code wxue8fs. Here I will provide further information on the programme and some of the benefits you can expect to gain from participating as well as answering any questions you may have about the programme.

Primarily the Young Enterprise scheme will involve you working as a member of a group to form a business, devise a business idea and then put it into practice – dealing with the challenges of running a business on an ongoing basis. The team are supported and guided through the process by Mrs Hamilton (Business Education) and an external Business Advisor.

The programme for the coming year will primarily, at least initially, be operated using remote operations to attend events etc. This is quite different to the way we are used to working, but as you are getting used to, it’s the way many things have to run just now.

If you intend to sign up, please note this requires real commitment from the team, for the vast majority of the coming year. Meetings will be arranged for after school – either in person or remotely, as you can appreciate this is an ever-evolving situation.

Head Boy/Head Girl Application Form

Dear S6

I hope this email finds you and your families well and settling into your new courses and on-line learning.  As I have said previously, S6 is an exciting year with lots of opportunities for you to take on additional responsibilities and enhance your personal skills and qualities. I am really impressed by the number of you who have already signed up to different aspects of Community Involvement, Buddying, Mentoring, and the Academic Family. In addition to these opportunities, a number of you have been asking about the applications process for Head Boy and Head Girl.

As with everything else at the moment, we want to keep these traditions going, but we will just have to manage them in a slightly different way: I have attached a link to the application form to be filled in by anyone who is interested in the main Pupil Leadership Roles – Head Boy/Girl. As a first step, those interested should complete this form by Friday 5 June. All applicants will then be asked to submit a video outlining your reason for putting yourself forward and information on what you will bring to the role (further details to follow). The video should be no more than four minutes in length and will be in lieu of you making a speech to the year group. Please wear uniform in the video.

Your application form and video should give a clear indication of your commitment to the school and to Sixth Year and will be shared with the year group and school staff for voting purposes.

Based on application forms, speeches and votes from staff and pupils; candidates will then be selected for interview. As I have said, I have been really impressed by your engagement and willingness to become involved in these wider school activities and I now look forward to receiving you applications for Head Boy and Head Girl.

Please access the Form below by using your Glow email address.
