An Introduction to Medicine
WAMGCC in collaboration with the charity You Can be a Doctor and a number of other organisations we are hosting an online information evening for pupils in S1-3 and their parents who are thinking about studying medicine or simply interested in finding out more about the career.
Join us for an evening of presentations from consultant doctors, GPs, medical students, and more to learn about what it’s like to be a doctor and how you can get there. This evening is intended for any pupil in S1 – S3 at a Scottish state school who is thinking about becoming a doctor, is interested in science, or who has a passion for looking after others. We also welcome parents of any budding doctors! The talks will be packed with information but we will also have an open text chat that pupils (and parents) can use to ask questions and chat directly to doctors and medical students. As work experience is difficult to find at the moment this session is sure to provide a valuable opportunity for pupils to explore the possibilities that being a doctor can offer them!
The event is to be held on Tuesday December 15th. 7-9pm. A recording will also go online on the charity’s YouTube channel afterwards. The event is entirely free but to register for an access code please visit:

Our S6 Leadership Team have launched Operation Donation. Senior Pupils were invited by our Parent Council to attend our online Parent Council meeting last Tuesday adn share their plans to support two local charities – Glasgow Foodbank and Refuweegee – by collecting donations from Monday 30th-Friday 11th December.
Posters outlining what donation are requested have been put up across our school as well as shared via our school Twitter account and via our Parent Council Twitter and Facebook pages and you can also find them here.
Donations can be brought in by pupils and placed in one of the many collection points across the school. If you have any queries, please contact Mr Neil or Miss Higgins.
We are delighted to be working with the University of Glasgow to create and design a project on helping young people to spot fake news, photoshopped images, etc.
This is a fantastic opportunity for pupils and will look fantastic on future university, college or employment applications.
We are looking for a group of S3 pupils to be involved in this project. If you are interested please contact Mr Richardson on gw12richardsonjack@glow.sch.uk
