A great opportunity for Teachers, Parents and Pupils to learn about Foundation Apprenticeships (FA) within the Food Technology and Scientific Technology industries and the careers these can lead to:
We had a great turn out at our club sign-up with many of our young people putting their name down to join one of our school clubs. This is to encourage all of our young people to help look after their own mental and physical health by trying something different this term. We continue to send the message to our young people that being more connected and active will have a positive effect on their mood and mental wellbeing. There is a wide variety of clubs running throughout the year with something to suit everyone. Pupils can still sign-up this week by speaking to Miss Dougall or Mrs Carlin.

On the 3rd December, 2018, Melissa Rodger and Jude Watson attended the ESU St. Andrew’s Day Debate, held in the Scottish Parliament. Melissa participated wholeheartedly in three rounds of thought provoking debate and was a credit to the school. Jude had the ominous role of student judge in all three rounds and he was an excellent ambassador for Airdrie Academy. Both pupils had a fantastic experience and learned a great deal which they are keen to cascade to their fellow public speakers during their weekly lunchtime club.

Do you have any Airdrie Academy uniforms that you no longer need? If yes, please consider donating them to us for our pre-loved school uniform initiative.
We are partnering with a local voluntary organisation called “Cool School Uniforms” to provide our families with uniform packages to suit their needs. Our Parent Council are also working closely with us to help make this initiative a success.
If you don’t have any specific items from Airdrie Academy’s uniform, but would still like to donate, you can also hand in outside jackets, new shoes/trainers/ new underwear, stationery, scarves, gloves etc.
Please hand in any donations to the school office or give to Mrs Carlin or Clare O’Neill (Home School Partnership Worker). Alternatively we can arrange collection, so please contact the school office on 01236 632161.
We really need your help as we aim to be up and running with this initiative before Christmas!
If you would like any other information please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you
