Home Economics

Welcome to the HE department web page. We are part of the Faculty of Health and Wellbeing. We have 1 permanent member of staff in the department:

· Ms F Macdonald – Faculty Head (PE teacher)

· Miss E MacLennan

Our aim:

As a department we aim to teach pupils the essential skills they will require later on in life. Home Economics is a subject that gives pupils the necessary information to enable them to build foundations of a healthy lifestyle. It helps develop organisation and management skills which are qualities sought by all employers.

Our curriculum allows pupils to:

· Develop initiative, self confidence, self discipline, co-operation and the ability to work with others

· Prepare for effective living in a rapidly changing society

· Develop the knowledge to look after their health and that of others

· Gain practical experience in organisation and planning of work
