Work Experience
All pupils in S4 are given the opportunity to take one week of Work Experience placement. This may also be available in both S5 and S6 depending on pupil uptake and placements available. S.V.S. pupils and others undergo a period of Community Placement/Work Experience. Pupils on work experience placement are visited by school staff where possible. Pupils have also undertaken European Work Experience whilst on exchange visits to both Denmark and Germany. Some staff and pupils have also taken part in the 'Take your Daughter to Work' scheme. The school is in the process of expanding its work experience provision by offering residential work experience opportunities, and one day a week placements over a longer period of time. Pupils are also encouraged to find their own placements. A self found placement form is available from support staff. This has to be organized well in advance.
