A group of 42 pupils from S2 and S3 recently enjoyed an exciting trip with their Graphics, Design & Manufacture, and Practical Woodworking classes to the Forth Bridge Education Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The day focused on a team engineering challenge, where pupils worked in groups to design and build sections of a bridge. Once completed, the individual sections were carefully joined together to create the final structure. This hands-on activity encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity, with pupils seeing their hard work come together in an impressive finished design.<\/p>\n

The trip was organised by Mr O\u2019Donnelly, with fantastic support from Miss Linning, Mr McKenzie, and Miss Stevens. A big thank you goes to the staff for making the experience possible.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity to walk the bridges together in beautiful sunshine, giving everyone a chance to admire their achievement as a group.<\/p>\n

Well done to all of the pupils involved \u2013 a fantastic day of learning, collaboration, and fun!<\/p>\n
