Skills Development Scotland (SDS) deliver sessions to all our PSE classes S1-S6. Pritpal Kalsi is also available in school to give one to one advice to all our students. You can book an appointment with him by emailing him (pritpal.kalsi@sds.co.uk) or by asking the Depute House Head. SDS will also be available on the parents evenings and the My Futures Convention to answer questions and offer advice.
DHH Interviews
Every student in S2, S4 and S5 will be allocated a time to meet with their Depute House Head. At this time you will go with your plans and you will be given an opportunity to discuss and ensure the plan is the correct one for you. If you are unsure about what to do it would be helpful to see your DHH beforehand.
Graeme High Booklets
Please take time to read these booklets!!
They show you EXACTLY what will be expected of you in courses. A common mistake is for pupils to confuse subjects in each faculty. For example please make sure you know the difference between Administration and Business, Graphic Communication and Design & Manufacture and the sciences. Another common issue is that people choose practical subjects such as PE, Drama and Music. Be sure you are prepared to participate in swimming, gymnastics, act in front of people and learn an instrument.
If you would like a hard copy of these booklets please ask at the school office.
