STEM Special
Many thanks to those who responded to our appeal for engineers to come to the school and speak with the children. We had a fantastic morning yesterday; the children thoroughly enjoyed listening to our four guest speakers.
Hopefully they have inspired many engineers for the future!
Chemical Engineering: Mr Dungavell
Power Systems: Mr Ilomuanya
Network Rail: Mr O’Lone
Radar and Electronics: Mr Shaw
Many thanks to Mr Dungavell, Mr Ilomuanya, Mr O’Lone and Mr Shaw (whom you might recognize as a formal pupil).
Evan said that he loved playing with Lego in Primary 1 and that he knew even then that he wanted to be involved in this industry.
