Autism Awareness
April is the Scottish Autism Awareness month.
Support for Learning promoted this by leading the following the activities:
- Interactive lesson for all pupils during PHSE
- Coffee Morning for staff
Paramedic Visit
I would like to say a massive thank you to Martin Fraser (Stuarts Dad) and Stephanie from the Ambulance Service for taking the time on their day off to come to Coltness High School and speak to our S3/4/5 Asdan pupils about their roles. They came armed with equipment including a resuscitation Anne, allowing the pupils to get some hands on experience. They were a delight and the pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Peer Tutoring
Some of our Peer Tutors in action supporting a small group of S1 and S2 pupils with their reading and spelling.

Eco-Friendly
Eco-Friendly
The Support for Learning Department in conjunction with Science have been driving an Eco-Friendly Project. The aim of the group is to raise awareness across the school and in time gain an ECO-FLAG.
The project will be led by a committee of pupils who have all volunteered their time and support.
All information including committee names and minutes of recent meetings can be found on the board at the entrance to the school.
Peer Tutoring
Support for Learning would like to say a massive thank you to the 33 senior pupils who have volunteered to Peer Tutor. This involves them supporting younger pupils across many subject areas, who are finding the work challenging. They assist the pupils in many ways including; helping them to organise their resources, keep up with the classwork, reading text, recording answers and much more. They are very much appreciated by not only the Support for Learning department and the classroom teacher but more importantly the younger pupils concerned.
Peer Tutoring runs annually and each pupil is awarded the ‘Diana Award of Excellence’ for their volunteering and commitment to the programme.
Greenhead Moss
On Tuesday 27th September our S3 Asdan Group had planned a visit to Greenhead Moss unfortunately the weather said different. However not all was lost as Aileen, NLC park ranger very kindly came to the school to tell us about the history of Greenhead Moss. Thanks Aileen, our pupils thoroughly enjoyed that talk.
