Jenny

Harris

Community

Many pupils choose to help people less well off than themselves. For example, Jenny spends a lot of time working with a volunteer group which helps the families of local children with special needs.  Jenny is happy to give up her spare time in this way because she finds it very satisfying and has also made many good friends.  Now she is considering a career in education.

Janet

Wood

Health

The school is proud of many former pupils who have gone on to work in the National Health Service (NHS). Janet studied Medicine at university and at one stage was a doctor in the Accident & Emergency Unit of a major hospital dealing with victims of major road traffic accidents as well as patients with sprained ankles! She is now a General Practitioner (GP) based at a local health centre.

Alan

Wood

Government

Politicians make Government decisions but it is civil servants who put them into practice.  Without civil servants, important services such as hospitals and schools would grind to a halt. Many former pupils have gone on to enjoy successful careers in the Civil Service.  Alan is a good example.  He has held many top posts including a spell working closely with a government minister.

Sandra

Grey

Law

Many former pupils have followed a career in the law.  Sandra is a good example. She studied law at university before joining a law firm to complete her training. She has since gained experience of many aspects of the Scottish legal system.  Sandra now puts this knowledge to good use as a senior partner in a local firm of solicitors.
