On Wednesday, 24 October, many pupils from Braidhurst High school took part in a visit to the SEC centre in Glasgow where a Skills Scotland event was underway. This convention, described as ‘Glasgow’s largest careers, jobs, skills and apprenticeships event’ lived up to its reputation as the average turnout is around 6,000 14 – 19-year-olds over the course of the event being held. Braidhurst pupils were able to participate in many workshops, ranging from construction to Coca Cola.  The event is highly beneficial to any young person looking to acquire the necessary skills for working in the 21^st century. The school provides many great opportunities such as this, to all pupils from S4 upwards.  With Mr. Clarke from the PE department organising trips to similar events over the course of the school year.
