Each year, at change of timetable, all schools are tasked with trying to
find ways of inspiring our young people to be the best they can be. At
Gillespie’s over the past year, we have faced increased challenges. This includes
working across 3 sites whilst our school is being rebuilt and 'pioneering' the
new Curriculum for Excellence and the very first tranche of exams.
To help prepare our new S5 for the rigours and demands of the session ahead we have invited Jamie Andrew in to speak to them on Monday 2 June at 1100.
Jamie Andrew is an incredible Scottish mountaineer who,
despite having no hands and feet, has made some amazing ascents all over the
world. As a quadruple amputee, Jamie has also made many other remarkable
achievements, raising many thousands of pounds for charity along the way.
My colleague Hazel Kinnear came up with the idea and is
organising the event. I'm really looking forward to hearing his story!
