Last week, five S3 pupils enjoyed a week-long citizenship programme delivered by fire fighters from the Scottish Fire Service.  Amanda Crichton, Eryn Tervit, Sylvia Lyttle, Shona Mooney, Lauren Hill and Aimee Hughes visited both Coatbridge and Cumbernauld Fire Stations to take part in a range of team-building and individual challenges.

The girls learned about the basic organization of all stations and how the fire fighters prepare each day for the emergency call-outs they will be likely to face. As well as learning basic first aid techniques, the girls also learned how to use hoses and other key items of equipment. All thoroughly enjoyed the experience and record their thanks to all of the fire fighters who looked after them so well during the week.
