Lockerbie Academy's First Podcast
Stock Market Challenge 2009

On Thursday 22 January Mrs Bell took five S3 Business Management pupils to Glasgow to take part in the 2009 Stock Market Challenge Event. The event, which was sponsored by Careers Scotland and BNP Paribas Securities Services, gave the 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 24 other schools. All five pupils did remarkably well, finishing at the end of trading with a portfolio worth £25,200. So well done to all team members; Katie Armstrong, Stephanie Sloan, James Murray, Dale Houstin and Jack Edens!

All five pupils were interviewed for the Careers Scotland radio station, 3TFM. To view the teacher's podcast and listen to the radio interviews on this event please click here.

Lockerbie - Syracuse Links and Remembrance

At 19:03 (UK time) on 21st December 1988, the communities of Syracuse and Lockerbie – geographically separated by 3,000 miles – were about to become inextricably linked due to the explosion of Pan Am 103, thirty thousand feet above the small rural town of Lockerbie in Scotland. That night, the souls of our two communities were literally torn apart. In remembrance, we have created a webpage dedicated to all those lost on that night. Click here to read more.
