S2 Enterprise day

Plans are well underway for our first ever S2 enterprise day on Monday 1 June.

S2 will be off timetable for the day, and set a number of challenges to get them working together.  Sessions include literacy treasure hunt, numeracy outdoor challenge, a design challenge and a physical assault course.

Pupils will be given instructions for the day through our VLC media player – software that allows us to man information on one computer and show on every dataprojector in the school.  Crazy talk software will be used to give pupils team building tasks and instructions to 9 classrooms simultaniously.

Classes will then compete in the four areas mentioned above to earn points for their respective houses.  Clues are going up around the school this week; equipment is being gathered for the numeracy challenges (think Die Hard with a vengeance where Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson have to diffuse a bomb by placing 4 gallons of water on a set of scales…); the TA have been invited in to work with our PE staff and pasta has been purchased for the design challenge!

The hard work of preparing has begun in earnest. Watch this space…

Forte clean up

A huge congratulations to Stirling High Young Enterprise Company Forte, who won an impressive 8 out of 12 awards at the Forth Valley Innovation Awards in the Albert Halls, Stirling this week.

Forte, who sold a CD of local bands, will now go on to represent Forth Valley at the Scottish Finals on 17 June.

October holiday is over!  Time to start thinking about Prelims!!!

What do you think about the new look blog?  Do you prefer it to the old style?

Do you want me to add anything that will help you to revise?

Our 3 great Young Enterprise companies frantically completed their reports after the Easter break.  Panic set in after we realised today that the finals in the Albert Halls, Stirling, are due to take place the same night as the school’s senior prizegiving – 2 important events that many of our pupils are involved in.  Thankfully the school agreed to move the prizegiving by one day – a huge relief and we are really grateful to them.
