DYW Leadership Training with Glasgow Airport
On Wednesday, the 4th of October, the office bearers and I had the privilege of working with Craig and Beth from the HR Department at Glasgow Airport for a leadership training session involving psychometric testing. Before the session we were given a survey to complete, which asked us to choose words and phrases that were most and least like ourselves. Based on our responses to the survey we were given feedback that was presented in a personal profile, outlining the characteristics, values and strengths of each person. The information was also conveyed through three graphs which identified areas of strength and development of each person. We found that all of us had thorough, perfectionist characteristics, where we would be more likely to take lots of time to research things before making any decisions. We are less likely to demonstrate dominance and ‘in charge’ qualities. Continue reading “DYW Leadership Training with Glasgow Airport”

Our Partners – Scottish Enterprise
For more information on our partnerships please contact Mrs Marshall via the contact us page of this site.
Scottish Enterprise worked with EAL pupils last session on developing their employability and interview skills. Pupils worked with employees of Scottish Enterprise and interpreters to learn about recruitment process, prepare an application and apply for a job. Pupils then took part in tasks that allowed them to apply for their chosen job before participating in a series of mock interviews, receiving immediate feedback.
Our Partners – Glasgow Airport
We have lots of exciting upcoming events with Glasgow Airport this session. For more information on our partnerships, please contact Mrs Marshall via the contact us page of this site.
How to Land Your Dream Job
Our S6 pupils will be participating in an interview workshop with representatives from Glasgow Airport. Â Pupils learn how to prepare for interview before undertaking interviews with employees from a variety of sectors within Glasgow Airport. This is ideal training as pupils prepare for interviews at university, college, apprentices or in relation to employment.
Office Bearers Leadership Training
Our S6 Office Bearers will undertake leadership training with senior managers of Glasgow Airport. The training will enable them to learn and discuss potential scenarios that they will encounter this academic year in their role as Office Bearers.
Work Inspiration Day
S3 pupils are invited to attend Glasgow Airport to experience and learn about the different roles and career opportunities Glasgow Airport has to offer. Anyone who is interested please see your Pastoral Care teacher or Mrs Marshall.
Our Partners – Apple Buchanan Street – Creative Industries
For more information on our partnerships please contact Mrs Marshall via the contact us page of this site.
Creative Industries pupils present their business plan to Apple!
‘As part of our project for Creative Industries class we have been developing our own brand of make-up called ‘Rouge’. We have created our own logo and branding whilst carrying out market research to ensure that we created a product that people wanted. As a result we created the Rouge Lipstick. As part of our presentation Nagoul, Treasure and I visited Apple Buchanan Street. We were given a task by the Business Team to present our ideas in the boardroom ‘Dragon’s Den Style’. An Apple trainer helped us with the software and we were given one hour to create a presentation.
Once we had created our presentation we were sent to the boardroom to deliver it in front of Head of Marketing for Apple in Scotland, Head of Business for Apple in Scotland and the Store Manager. Our presentation was a success and after some tough questioning, all three Apple representatives said they would invest in us.
Overall this was a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. It was an opportunity that we could not refuse. How many pupils can say they have presented a business plan in front of a billion dollar company!? Being in the Apple Store was very exciting for us and we really enjoyed our time.’

Once again, our S4 results are the highest ever achieved at Notre Dame which places young people in an excellent position as they embark on their fifth year studies. Well done to Pati Alonso of S4 who achieved nine passes at National 5. Pupils in S5 and S6 also achieved some outstanding results with a number of girls achieving 5 Higher passes at “A” grade. In addition, Leah McCabe and Joanne Tahaney of S5 enhanced their academic profile by achieving success in four Highers and Advanced Higher Music. Good luck to our outgoing sixth year pupils as they begin the next stage of their life journey. Remember girls, you are always welcome at Notre Dame High should you need help or advice with decisions around your next steps.
