King’s Trust Enterprise Challenge

On Friday 27th March we welcomed the King’s Trust to the Business & Computing faculty.

We had a group of 40 S1’s participating in the King’s Enterprise Challenge where groups of young people were introduced to the concept of entrepreneurship, practicing business-style pitches and culminating in the opportunity to compete in the Business Simulation game. There were lots of really interesting business ideas from our fantastic group of students and definitely some fierce competition during the Business Simulation game.

The winning team with a whopping 18,771 points were: Leah Gold (Skye), Katie Murray (Skye) and Shauna Fulton (Arran). Well done girls!

We are eagerly waiting to hear if the girls will make it to the National Finals where they would compete for £1000 to bring their business idea to life!

Thank you to the King’s Trust for coming in and giving out young people such a wonderful experience.

Under-16 Boys Triumph in RS McColl Cup Clash Against St Paul’s

On a drizzly Monday night under the floodlights, our Under-16 Boys’ Football team delivered a gritty performance to secure a 2-1 victory over St Paul’s in the Glasgow RS McColl Cup.

The match started brightly for our side, with two well-taken goals in the first half. Finlay Dougall opened the scoring after some silky build-up play, and Pieters Mayavo doubled the lead before the break with a composed finished following a world-class save from Aaron Fitzpatrick at the other end, giving us a strong 2-0 advantage heading into half-time.

The second half, however, was anything but straightforward. St Paul’s quickly pulled one back and an early red card left us down to ten men, setting up a tense finale. What followed was a masterclass in resilience and defensive organisation. Every player dug deep, and the team showed incredible character to hold firm against relentless pressure.

Special mention goes to Dillan Carroll, who earned Man of the Match honours for two unbelievable last-ditch interventions that kept our lead intact.

This hard-fought win not only secures our place in the next round but also highlights the teamwork, discipline, and sheer willpower that define this group. Well done, boys!

S2 Project Based Learning

This term, our S2 pupils have been immersed in a unique Project-Based Learning (PBL) experience inspired by the concept of Solarpunk—a hopeful vision of the future where sustainability, community, and innovation go hand in hand.

The project began with a dramatic scenario: a simulated plane crash in a remote location. Pupils were challenged to imagine how they would rebuild society from the ground up. Around the “campfire,” they explored big questions about politics, law, the environment, and social values, sparking deep and thoughtful discussions.

As the project progressed, pupils took on the exciting task of designing their own nations. Each group created a flag, wrote a national anthem, and drafted a constitution that reflected their vision for a fair, inclusive, and sustainable society. These creative exercises encouraged pupils to think critically about identity, governance, and the principles that underpin a thriving community.

Through collaboration, creativity, and debate, our S2 learners have shown incredible imagination and maturity. Their Solarpunk societies are not only inspiring but also a powerful reminder of the kind of future our young people can help build.

We’re proud of their work and look forward to sharing more as the project continues!
