| Stock
Market Challenge Event 2010

|
On Wednesday 20 January five S3 pupils travelled to Glasgow to
take part in the 2010 Stock Market Challenge Event.
The event, which is sponsored by Careers Scotland and BNP Paribas
Securities Services, gives pupils an opportunity to take on the
role of stockbrokers buying and selling shares and foreign exchange
on a live trading floor in competition with 25 other schools in
Scotland.
All five pupils did remarkably well, finishing at the end of trading
with a portfolio worth £35,000. So well done to the Academy
team members; Suzanne Gordon, Christopher Gray, Jay Bryson, Danielle
Beattie and Gemma Waugh. You did the school proud!

Thanks to the hard work of Mrs Cotter and pupil and staff groups,
we have achieved Fairtrade status. We are the first school in Dumfries
and Galloway to do so and one of only 72 in Scotland.
There have been a number of awareness raising activities within
the school including Fairtrade tuck shops, assemblies, Fairtrade
fortnight, quizzes and coffee mornings.
All tea and coffee at staff functions and parents’ evenings is purchased
from the ethical superstore. Click

This is the allocation allowed by the Scottish Government. We sincerely
apologise for any inconvenience this may cause parents.

Coffee
Morning for Thawale Primary School, Malawi
What a great success the Malawi African
Link Enterprise Group’s coffee morning turned out to be. Over 150
supporters enjoyed endless cups of coffee and home baking and the
Lockerbie Academy students were to the fore, not only sixth year
students manning stalls and serving coffees, but also lots of younger
pupils helping behind the scenes and also on many enterprise stalls.
