Lead school of Computing ScienceDEVELOPING COMPUTATIONAL THINKING SKILLS IN BELLAHOUSTON ACADEMY PUPILS

We are delighted to share our recent news in the Technologies Faculty, beginning with a huge well done to the Computing Science teachers. Their hard work and dedication in completing the PLAN C course has led to the British Computing Society awarding Bellahouston Academy the Prestigious Title of Lead School of Computing Science in a nationwide initiative. Bellahouston Academy is one of only five schools in Glasgow which has achieved this status.

With the government placing increasing emphasis on Scotland’s Digital Future, Plan C has been put in place to encourage our young people to become Digital Creators.

Please look out for the certificate awarded to the school to mark this achievement, on display at Bellahouston Academy’s Reception area.

The impact of this will benefit all young people who follow a course in Computing Science or Computer Games Development at Bellahouston Academy.

Senior Business Management and Administration pupils listened to pitches from several budding School Uniform Suppliers.

These pupils put the suppliers through their paces to ensure that they were providing a uniform of quality for the Bellahouston Academy community.

They weighed up the pros and cons of each supplier and ensured that needs were met, and made recommendations as to why each supplier should be chosen. Pupils played an active role in this decision and we look forward to seeing the results of their decision making skills!
