Independent Living Skills

Between the 29-31st August, the Support for Learning department took away 11 pupils on an Independent Living Skills residential. The pupils travelled to rural Perthshire and were responsible for the cooking, cleaning, budgeting and leading walks and activities with and without the teachers present. Everyone had a great time and all have returned with a new skill (or 10!)

S4 Core Skills and Achieve

On the 28th August the S4 Core Skills and Achieve classes used the last of their sponsored walk money to fund a trip to Loch Lomond. Here we got to take a boat to the island of Inchailloch where the pupils got to explore the island and learn the history. Pupils got the opportunity to cook on a stove and roast marshmallows on a fire, and the hardy few went paddling in the water. The day ended with an ice-cream or a treat and a wonder around Balmaha.
