We have just over a thousand students at the Academy and our intake is partly from the city of Perth itself but also quite a wide rural area. Our approach to the use of technologies is based around appropriateness and relevance. We have an approach where we very much encourage all departments to think about how they can use technology to enhance learning. RECTOR: But the important thing is learning itself where the technology can support the youngster in their learning journey. And also can develop their own skills both in terms of using ICT but also in terms of the core skills for learning life and work that come through the use of technology, whether that be the development of their creativity skills, working within Home Economics, within Food and Textiles, working in partnership with a local caterer whos supporting them in their learning. RECTOR: Or whether that be developing their communication skills in technology through their use of Inventor. Or whether it be their enterprise skills. Enterprise is very strong, particularly within the Business department, but its actually a skill that we are increasingly putting into the curriculum in other areas both in terms of an elective but also in terms of a core provision for every youngster to develop their enterprise skills. RECTOR: I mean these are just some examples but theres a whole range of skills that are targeted in a coordinated way around the school and technology is one of the key areas for the development of these transferrable skills. FACULTY HEAD, ART, DESIGN, ENGINEERING and TECHNOLOGY: The S3 students in the Graphic Communication class were working on the creation of their own bottles, so they have designed their own bottles in Autodesk Inventor. And what theyre also doing is using Serif PagePlus to create labels for those bottles. Two reasons that we use Inventor, its very easy to use and our pupils use it from S1 right up to Advanced Higher. And the other reason that we use Inventor is that it is something thats also used in industry. FACULTY HEAD, ART, DESIGN, ENGINEERING and TECHNOLOGY: And so we feel that its a package that best prepares these pupils for the world of work and for leaving school and going out there to do the jobs that are relevant to Graphic Communication. STUDENT 1: The stock market game were using at the moment, it basically emulates what it would actually be like in a stock market situation. So were being given a constant news feed, information about all the different companies and we have to choose which ones to invest in. And overall the team who manages to make the most profit from the starting amount of money wins. STUDENT 2: Im hoping to go into finance myself so its a good indication of what it will be like in the real world, so its good that Ive had the chance to use it and its helped me confirm that I want to go on and do finance at university. So yeah, Im glad to have had the experience within the school to use it. RECTOR: As we review our curriculum we are looking for ways to increase our provision within the technologies. And part of thats around working with our partners at Perth College to ensure that some of the growth areas including Engineering are catered for. But its also about building on the strengths that weve got within the school within our elective programme to ensure that theres some very clear pathways from the school into further education within this area and making sure the youngsters are taking skills, marketable skills and transferrable skills with them when they leave Perth Academy.
