A group of S3 and S4 Media pupils participated in a very enjoyable and highly informative visit to the Sky Academy in Livingston on Thursday 17th January. The trip encouraged pupils to develop skills for life and work as part of the school’s ‘Developing the Young Workforce’ programme, with a particular emphasis, this time, on communication and creativity. Whilst at the Sky Academy pupils explored various roles within the media industry and were tasked with creating their own horror trailer. The visit proved to be a very successful day for all pupils involved.
