A themed assembly to equip S5 and S6 pupils with the skills, knowledge and attitudes that are required to succeed in the world of work.
An interactive session led by industry representatives from Wood, aimed at preparing senior pupils for real-world challenges and future career opportunities.
This interactive session was designed as part of the Personal & Social Education curriculum at Lochside Academy. It aimed to give pupils an insight into the expectations of an employer, as well as providing them with information about different career paths and learning opportunities.
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.
S6 pupils from Mearns Academy gained their first experience of an assessment centre during an off-site day hosted at Norwood Hall Hotel.
A day out with a difference exposed senior pupils from Aberdeen to cutting-edge technologies and engineering solutions.
A real-world project for S3 pupils culminated in a Sustainability Festival supported by local and national organisations.
