The senior pupils were mentored by Science staff, on the experiments that the primary pupils would be carrying out, over a period of time. Pupils completed a record book of the experiments they carried out, with seniors helping them to complete the questions. The day was very successful and enjoyed by all involved. A big thank you to everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p>A group of S5 pupils spent a morning working with representatives from the University of Glasgow, as part of the Reach and Access programmes. This was the start of a series of workshops, designed to support pupils with entry to their chosen university courses.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives of our peer mentor group attended the national \u2018Children in Scotland\u2019 conference, held at the Westerwood Hotel, last week. The group led a workshop on the \u2018Mentors in Violence Prevention\u2019 scheme, which was very well received by the professionals concerned, and the pupils received very positive feedback. Well done!<\/p>\n<p>Natasha Riddel and Olivia Anderson participated in a meeting of the Rotary Club of Kilsyth, to give a presentation on their recent Challenge Enterprise experience, which was funded by the club. The girls provided an excellent insight to their experience and entertained the members.
