Once again we paired with Lockerbie Academy and attended a 3 day field trip to develop essential field skills for our Advanced Higher Biology class. The pupils practiced various sampling techniques in different ecosystems. We saw lots of different organisms on their natural habitat and developed skills for life. Thanks again to FSCBlencathra for another fantastic visit and excellent support.

CAN YOU HELP SHAPE A YOUNG PERSON’S FUTURE?

We’re looking for local employers to offer work experience opportunities to pupils at Annan Academy.

For a young person spending time in a real workplace can make a huge difference. It can help them discover a career they didn’t know existed, build confidence, develop valuable skills and understand what employers are looking for. 💼

If you could offer a young person an opportunity, please get in touch with Miss Todd ([email protected])
Let’s work together to connect our young people with the world of work.✨
