Calderhead High School held a Careers event at school on Wednesday, 25 January 2017. In the morning the ‘Friends of Calderhead’ (former pupils, parents and relatives) gave a short 20 minute presentation detailing their own personal experience of school, the grades that they attained and the journey they had taken leading them to their current role. Our S3 pupils then had the opportunity to hear insightful, inspiring, and honest representations of working in an industry that they had expressed interest in. Thanks go to all the ‘friends of Calderhead’: Gordon Muir, Ross Mitchell, Kim Milroy, Lauren Brown, Gillian Tannahill, Steven Smith, Billy Morley, Steven Lake, Tom Stewart and Emma Reid for their input at the event. S1 and S2 pupils took part in a teacher pathway quiz.
In the afternoon, twenty one providers attended a more traditional careers fayre, which was hosted in the assembly hall.
The final session of the day involved S5/6 pupils, parents of pupils and members of the community who were able to access all the support and services the providers could offer.
Calderhead High School would like to thank all those who attended and supported the event.
