Employability

The S4 Care Class recently took part in an apprentice style task as part of their Asdan Employability Course. Team A were given false eyelashes and Team B had bronzer to market. The girls had to create an advertising campaign and new packaging for their products. They pitched their ideas to a guest panel - S4 pupil Shannon Renwick, Enable Scotland worker Steven Galbraith and beauty therapist Diane Borthwick from Casaras, Drongan. Congratulations to Team A: Shereen Steele, Gemma Hughes, Zoe Ritche, Amie Donnelly, Chelsea Carruthers, Chloe Rowan and Shannon Rodger as their product ‘Million Eyes Lashes’ was chosen by the panel as the best product. Well done to everyone who took part and thank you for all their hard work over the past month preparing their products and presentations.

"Wear it Pink"

The S4 Care Group organised a fundraising event for ‘Wear it Pink’ to raised money for Breast Cancer Research. They held a non-uniform pink day, cake sale and raffle which raised over £190. A special mention to Mr. Paton who deservedly won Best ‘Pink’ Dressed Male with his pink shirt, pink belt and pink furry boots!

Wear it Pink

The S4 Care Group working with Tammy Borthwick had a visit from Wendy the community midwife. Wendy spoke about her work and the group asked many questions. They have also been busy organising fund raising activities for this year’s ‘Wear it Pink’ Day on Friday 22nd October in aid of breast cancer research. The group have arranged for face painting, a pink wearing non-uniform day and two raffles. All donations are welcome for this worthy cause and well done to the care group for your excellent enterprising attitude.
