S3 Life Skills – First Aid Training

S3 Life Skills – First Aid Training

This week Tom Malcolm from Grampian Training Services was in school to deliver a First Aid Training course to our group of S3 Life Skills pupils.

They learned about initial assessment of a casualty, CPR & Defibrillators on day one and on day two they were learning about the recovery position, bandages, choking, anaphylactic and asthma to name a few.

An excellent life skill to be given the opportunity to develop.

During the last academic year, the school presented for the first time, the National Progression Award in Photography. The course comprised of 4 separate units – Understanding Photography, Photographing People, Photographing Places and Working with Photographs – introducing and building on the technical and analytical skills required to take perfectly exposed, thought provoking and well framed imagery with narrative and good composition. The students had the option to use DSLR cameras provided by the school or their own devises, allowing for freedom and control over their photoshoots.

Here are a selection of the students folios, presented in the format of a Google Website, highlighting their favourite work from the year. As you will see, they are a collection of incredibly professional and well planned photographs, showcasing the students’ skills and highlighting the importance of Photography as a visual medium for these ever changing times.
