Woodfarm high pupils attended the Big Big Debate for 16 and 17-year-olds hosted by BBC Scotland in Glasgow’s SSE Hydro. The 60-minute long discussion, covering the referendum, allowed pupils to question a panel of politicians and prominent figures.
Well done to Euan W and Aqib M who had the opportunity to speak during the debate.
Well done to our S4 and S5/6 pupils for their excellent exam results. Staff look forward to working with pupils to ensure success again next year.
All pupils should access the relevant resources using the links on the website pages to access resources at home and begin studying their new courses.
Once again staff will be offering supported study and various clubs including Amnesty International, Fairtrade and Rights Respecting School committee to encourage pupils to be active in their community. Staff will also be encouraging pupils to look after their health and well being by leading the running and badminton club.
All pupils are welcome to participate.
Good luck to Mr Taylor who will be visiting Sri Lanka with S5 and S6 pupils as part of the World Challenge initiative.
S2 and S3 pupils will also be visiting WW1 battlefields with Mrs Johnston, Mr McDonald and Miss Vannini. The trip leaves on Friday 20th June at 8pm from the school.
The faculty have organised a debate on Tuesday 17th June at 7pm.
This will be an opportunity for pupils and parents to listen to politicians and participate in the independence debate.
Tickets are free and are available from Miss Vannini.
Fieldwork has always been an important element in the study of Geography. This has now been formalised in the new qualifications and pupils at Woodfarm have been given the opportunity to opt from a choice of two proposed trips.
1. Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park – Tuesday the 11th of May
2. Glasgow – Urban Study – Thursday the 13th of May
Please read letter attached for further information on the S3 Geography outdoor learning opportunities.
Pupils who were interested in walking on the largest map of Scotland in existence have been coming to the assembly hall on. Our Cluster P7 primary classes also came to see it. All agreed it is a really incredible resource and well worth coming to see.
S1 and pupils from our cluster primaries will have an opportunity to wander around the coastline, stand on the highest peaks, discover the islands and even walk up the M8! Woodfarm has hired the use of the large floor map to support pupils to develop their map skills. We hope this will be a memorable experience that will bring Geography alive.
Well done to Andrew H, Kieran C and Owain T who came 3rd in the final at Dollar Academy . The pupils had to focus on researching and updating their knowledge of a wide variety of geographical facts and information leading up to the Scottish Final.
Following on from our success last year when an S5 pupil won the UK young reporter of the year another two S5 pupils have qualified for the top 10 in the UK. Well done to Rhea and Claire who were both selected after writing articles to highlight human rights issues. We will find out if they make the final in London!
