Thanks to Lucy and Thomas from Drummond Laurie Chartered Accountants for coming in to speak to our Higher Accounting class this morning. We discussed the different pathways available and Drummond Laurie’s school leaver opportunities #weareFHS

They carried out some market research to find out what customers would like and how much they’d be willing to spend. They then had to present their ideas to “The Dragons” to win a chocolatey prize. #weareAmbitious #weareFHS

S1 Business have completed a Dragon’s Den project. They been working in teams to create a new breakfast cereal, they had to create a new brand identity, logo, name, character and decide on the flavours to include.

They then had to work on a design pitch for a new business/shop to come to Falkirk, focussing on how this would impact the people of Falkirk. They presented this to the class and the class voted on a winning team. #weareAmbitious #weareFHS

This term our S2 classes have been working on a Falkirk Regeneration Project. They have been working in teams to analyse the existing range of shops in Falkirk and identify any gaps in the market or under-represented trades.

Thanks to Caitlin and Lucy from Drummond Laurie Chartered Accountants who visited our Higher Accounting class today to talk about their career paths and the benefits of qualifying as a Chartered Accountant through their school leaver scheme. #weareFHS #weareAmbitious
