Senior Phase courses

S4

In S4 we cover a variety of topics including Health and Wellbeing issues such as stress and resilience as well as a Careers related focus. We are pleased to have outside agencies such as our community Police Officer, Skills Development Scotland, LYPP and First Responders contributing to some of the PSE lessons at key points in the year.

S5

Our S5 Personal and Social Education (PSE) programme continues to cement the work already considered in S1-4, building on the knowledge and skills already gained.  Topics such as sexual health and relationships, domestic abuse, study skills, growth mind-set, careers and personal statements are also covered.

Pupils have the opportunity to gain an additional SCQF Level 6 Personal Development Qualifications through participating in the Youth Philanthropy Initiative.  This involves researching and presenting on a local charity whilst competing to win a £3,000 grant for their chosen charity.
