18th January 2007

Doon Academy have successfully piloted a six week citizenship course for S3 boys. The boys undertook the course to produce a metal sculpture to improve one of the school’s garden areas. The boys worked with Kilmarnock College lecturer Mr Billy Tomlinson and their attractive designs were unveiled to teachers and family members at a special ceremony on Thursday 21 December.
A meeting of the schools Leadership Graduates took place on Thursday 18 January to discuss ways of offering the leadership experience to more pupils. S3 leadership graduates are also in the process of preparing a series of workshops to introduce leadership to younger pupils.
Cathy Cassidy, author of “Dizzy”, “Scarlet”, “Driftwood” and “Indigo Blue” will be coming to Doon Academy at the beginning of March to talk to pupils. Mrs Bax has more information!
