S6 Evidence Gathering- Leadership Award
On the last 2 days of the final evidence gathering week, pupils will come into school to complete their Level 6 Leadership Award. This is to give pupils to complete the 2 units, before focusing on their other qualifications.
We will split the year into two groups to allow more contact time with teachers.
6A 6B 6C 6D should come into school for their Leadership Award classes on Thursday the 10th of February
6E 6F 6G should come into school for their Leadership Award classes on Friday the 11th of February
When pupils are not involved in the Leadership Award they can stay at home to complete college applications or to upload and complete sections of their Duke of Edinburgh Award. On the day they are not involved they can also come into school for independent study if they wish.
SQA Documents- English, Mandarin, Urdu and Arabic
