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

Greatly touched by the warmth

professors and a group of student writers and photographers have
published a book on Lockerbie's history and nature, and the lives
of its residents — redefining Lockerbie beyond the events of one
fateful day. Click

to buy a copy of this book. |

- 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
