All of our S3 pupils were allocated an appointment with our partners from Skills Development Scotland as part of their preparation for the start of their Senior Phase.
Each pupil met with our Careers Adviser, Rosalynn Robinson, and they were offered advice and guidance about their upcoming transition into S4. Rosalynn and her team will continue to work with our S3 pupils as they progress through the Senior Phase.
Congratulations to our S6 pupils who visited the University of Strathclyde’s Statistics Department on Monday 19 Dec 2016 as part of their work to gain their SQA Group Award.
The class gathered data using a Christmas quiz which was given to pupils from a variety of yeargroups. The purpose of the quiz was to find out if two heads are better than one!
The participants answered the quiz in pairs or singles and under exam conditions so that they couldn’t influence each others decisions. The Statistics class analysed some of this data at the University using MINITAB – a program very familiar to professional statisticians. The class are currently analysing all of our data and preparing a report to feed back to all involved. Well done!
