What Can I Be Morning 2022

On 10th November as part of Careers Education week. Our S2 pupils has a fabulous day of career related opportunities yesterday. Our What can I be morning had over 24 employers inspiring our S2 pupils about careers ranging from construction, hospitality, third sector, finance, sport, sciences the army and emergency services, the arts and healthcare! Giving an insight into what that sector does as well as the skills needed to do so. We were so fortunate to have such a vast group of enthusiastic employers and we cannot thank you enough for coming along both the pupils and staff had a wonderful morning! Hopefully these partnerships are the start of something special! It was great to see such a fabulous buzz around the school and finally having employers in to tell us all the amazing work you do! Thank you so so much!

In the afternoon we were delighted to welcome Ali Wright West FM breakfast DJ and she spoke about her amazing journey into the world of media and what that is like. She answered lots of interesting questions for our pupils, we were so lucky to have her come and inspire the next generation.
What a fantastic Day!
