Our Skills Academy this year was lead by Mr Bell involved a small group of pupils working to gain valuable skills for life and work.
The pupils have taken part in a range of activities over the last four weeks.
As part of this they have earned qualifications in Customer Service and Barista from Ayrshire College. They have visited the Waterside to learn about applying these qualifications to work.
The pupils have engaged with many outside partners including a STEM event with the RAF; team-work and leadership training with the Army; alcohol awareness with North Ayrshire Council and yesterday spent the afternoon at Maximum Potential Gym. Unfortunately due to the Critical Alert at the time our day with the Fire Service was cancelled.
Pupils have also received brilliant training in Heart Start from Catriona, Finlay and Louise; Skills for Work training with Lee and Beth; and enjoyed their climb up Conic Hill with Kris and Catriona.
Pupils also took part in a focus group before receiving their certificate to graduate Skills Academy.
Article 29 of the UNCRC (Goals of education) states that Children’s education should develop each child’s personality, talents and abilities to the fullest. It should encourage children to respect others, human rights and their own and other cultures. It should also help them learn to live peacefully, protect the environment and respect other people. Children have a particular responsibility to respect the rights their parents, and education should aim to develop respect for the values and culture of their parents.
Throughout this school year the pupils of Ardrossan Academy have demonstrated a wide range of talents and abilities which have been summarised in this booklet.
