All S5 and S6 pupils took part in the session, which covered topics such as:
The session was delivered in a fun and engaging way for pupils. A game of heads and tails was used to gauge pupils answers to various career conundrums. This encouraged lots of lively interaction, as winners and prizes were allocated.
The activity also formed part of a new influencing partnership arrangement between Wood and Lochside Academy.
The S6 cohort at Cults Academy gained practical knowledge and confidence in managing their personal finances, courtesy of an interactive session with Barclays Life Skills.
An in-school session with EY helped senior phase pupils understand how mathematical classroom concepts are applied in real-world business scenarios.
A pupil mural project gained a creative boost when a graduate from Gray's School of Art visited Lochside Academy.
