Waid Matters Waid Matters Rector’s Message Dear Parents/Carers I am pleased to issue my first Waid Matters as Acting Rector. I’m always amazed when we pull material together for the Newsletter at just how much happens in school in a single term and, of course, this newsletter only gives a flavour of what has been going on. It’s good to have an opportunity to recognise and celebrate achievements of so many learners. It is also a good opportunity to thank staff for all the opportunities they provide for learners both in the curriculum and in wider achievement. This has been a very busy term across the school and particularly busy for S4- S6 as we move towards the national exams. Learners and staff (and I’m sure parents) have worked hard to meet deadlines and work through prelims, assignments, folios etc. I am proud of the hard work and dedication of our school community. We had 6 teachers from Norway visit us on Friday 22nd March who wanted to learn more about our curriculum in S1-S3. They visited a number of classes and their feedback was great to hear. They commented on the very positive ethos of mutual respect and the high levels of engagement in active and challenging learning. They were very impressed by how articulate and confident our learners were. It is always interesting to see the school from an external perspective. We work with a range of partners and you will see that as you read through the newsletter and I would like to thank one of our partners, The Murray Trust, who have given us a number of grants to support a range of activities for learners including Supporting the Shakespeare Festival, Duke of Edinburgh, a PA system for PE, funding the art work now displayed in the Atrium and funding to support projects in our OCC. Their support has been invaluable to us. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Parent Council for supporting us as we have navigated the Managing Change Process and the restructuring of our school week in response to the budget cuts. Their support has been invaluable in moving us forward. I hope that staff, learners and parents enjoy the Spring Break and that we all come back for our final term refreshed, energised and ready to meet fresh challenges with confidence. Mrs E Smart UK Space Design Competition London, March 2019 Eleven students from S5 and S6 accompanied by two teachers made the journey to London to take part in the UK Space Design Finals. This annual competition co-ordinated by Imperial College and NASA sets students from approximately 22 different schools the task of designing a space settlement to support a community in the year 2054. The team from Waid, the only Scottish school team to win through to the finals, comprised Struan Anderson, Aidan Baker, Chiara Beaton, Eve Bracken-Ingram, Sam Cresswell, Jonathan Haehner, Rory Hamilton, Isaac Laker, Georgie Morris, Daisy Penn-Ripley and Maria Uringa. The design brief was issued and five competing companies formed. Eve, Maria and Aiden were chosen to head up departments within their company. The teams then set to work and did not stop for the next two days. The work ethic, collaboration and focus on the delivery of every aspect of the brief was astounding. On the Sunday, with presentations ready, each team pitched their ideas to a panel of judges all associated with the Space Industry in the UK and USA. After a nail biting few hours the results were announced with Waid Academy students, once again, third year in a row, being part of the winning company. Rory Hamilton received an award to mark his contribution in pulling everyone and everything together in their company. Exhausted but delighted they returned to Waid. Even more good news followed as of the twelve young people chosen to go to Florida USA in July, four will be from Waid – Maria Uringa, Eve Bracken-Ingram, Daisy Penn-Ripley and Rory Hamilton. Well done to this group of students for being part of the winning team and for continuing Waid’s presence in the USA for the third year in a row. Digital Technology in the Curriculum - In Waid Academy we are so lucky to have access to Laptops/Tablets at almost any time. We us the digital tools when we need to and this has been of great benefit and improves our learning. We access Glow both in school & out of school for our work & use Microsoft tools and Microsoft Teams. We use Glow to access our work. It is easy to have conversations with teachers & each other through the chat facility. This helps us to work together & allows us to ask teachers questions remotely. In particular I like the fact that I am notified about homework & assignments through the SharePoint. We use the One Note where our course work is stored. This is helpful particularly if you are absent from school for whatever reason. A number of us have downloaded the Teams App on our phones to improve usability & quick access more efficiently. Another great facility is the Accelerated Reader programme. I work with S1 pupils to improve their confidence in reading & literacy skills. Accelerated Reader has tests & quizzes to assess accurate reading ages to allow us as mentors to plan what next steps to take when we support the S1 pupils. Overall I feel our access to IT and increased opportunities to learning and teaching programmes/software is useful for everyone at all levels & at all stages. As Digital Leaders we are looking forward to develop our leadership skills in peer support. Rahima Nazir S4 Waid Academy is the first Secondary School in Fife to achieve the Digital Schools Award! Leadership & Vision - As part of our 20/20 vision & action plan our work is evolving to improve: digital skills and literacy across the curriculum to enhance teaching and learning and promote the health and wellbeing of our learners in keeping safe on line. School Culture – Digital skills are an integral part of our school community & everyday lives. It is vital that we provide opportunities for our learners to maximise their digital development to understand & use them properly. We made a commitment in our digital journey (which started before we moved into the new Waid Community Campus) to equip & provide training for all staff and pupils to be better prepared with the new upgraded IT resources. Professional Development - An ICT Team was formed (representatives from each Faculty area & Technicians) to develop our own IT skills & to disseminate training & further CPD for other staff. We have four trained MIE (Microsoft Innovative Experts) in the team. We have delivered training sessions for pupils as well as parent IT workshops. Next Steps: We are currently consolidating our practice and continuing with working towards our Action Plan -20/20 vision: Develop & Improve Digital Learning & Teaching across the Curriculum - working within our faculties to improve understanding digital literacy & skills in the curriculum Continue with providing training relevant sessions to pupils, parents and staff. Our Digital Leaders will be pivotal in moving forward to develop digital skills & digital literacy, we will be training more pupils early next session. Working with our Cluster Primaries in a digital context (for skills, literacy & curriculum) Working with Fife Digital team in sharing good practice with other schools ICT Showcase next session We are very proud to have been asked by Digital Schools Award Scotland to be a Mentor School! We are looking forward to working with other schools to assist them on their Digital journey. TENNER CHALLENGE 2019 This year’s S2’s voted at the Tenner Challenge Launch Assembly to raise money for Marie Curie with an overwhelming majority keen to support this worthy cause. Taking place in the month of March, pupils have 4 weeks to work as a team and turn £10 startup money into as much as they can for the charity. With a whole host of different products and activities on offer home baking, sweets and candles were once again a popular choice for many of the teams, who may be hopeful of replicating last year’s winners a tablet making company. Our school once again held a coffee morning and craft fair open to parents and the public which allowed pupils to set up stalls to showcase their products. The teas and coffees were a great success helping to boost the overall amount raised thanks to last year’s participants, S3 pupils Ian Mackie and Stella Mitchell, who volunteered to man the coffee bar. Many thanks also to the staff involved who helped on the day, in class and after school baking, making and setting everything up. While some money is still to be paid in we can report having raised an incredible £2500 once all the Tenners have been repaid. We would like to thank the pupils for the huge amount of work and effort they put into raising this money, they should be very proud of their achievements. Thanks also to the parents and local community who have shown such support in making this a success. Four teams have been entered into the national finals and we wait with fingers crossed to hear if they will progress further. While eight teams go forward to the school finals, judged on 15 May by national representatives from Marie Curie at a presentation and award event in school. Mrs Smart will also make up the judging panel and has said categorically that she cant be bribed. 2018/19 has seen thirty one pupils embark on their DofE award journey.

  • Chairman's Welcome
    1 Chairman’s Welcome I would like to welcome everyone to the 2017 Disability Sport Fife (DSF) Annual General Meeting and Awards Evening. This year is a landmark year for the Association as it is our 40 th anniversary year and I’m sure Richard, when he sat in a meeting room in the old Fife Sports Institute in 1977, never dreamed he would be here tonight celebrating the success of so many athletes and coaches. The foundations of DSF are the weekly sports sessions which have continued to grow in number throughout the year and the Association is indebted to the coaches and volunteers who offer so much of their time and expertise to those sessions. Just recently we have had another successful Annual Sports Festival, which continues to be supported by Fife Council and the Fife Sports and Leisure Trust through our Service Level Agreement. DSF acknowledges the enormous support we receive from Fife Council and the Leisure Trust throughout the year in many different ways. DSF once again had a successful year in national events organised by Scottish Disability Sport. The third successive team win of our athletes at the SDS Senior Track and Field Championships and the achievements of Fife performance and Para bowlers throughout the year are particular highlights. Many thanks to the member organisations and coaches for their time and effort preparing Fife teams and individual athletes for these events. DSF continues to address the regional development arm of performance sport in Fife and the now well established High Performance, Performance and Development Squads which support individual members at various stages of their sporting development have had success in major events throughout the year.

  • Madras College Newsletter - Summer Term 1985
    Madras College Newsletter - Summer Term 1985 The month of June is one that most staff and pupils look forward to - for senior pupils it means that SCE exams are done with, replaced by the interest and challenge of new courses; for all of us it signals the approach of the long vacation, and the prospect in the meantime of long hot June days. These we still await. Perhaps July? This has been a session of considerable upheaval in the South Street Building. The creation, within the existing structure, of eight additional practical rooms has involved making some two dozen room changes. In spite of these changes, and the accompanying noises of hammering and drilling, staff and pupils have continued to work away steadily. I appreciate their tolerance. The fact that there has been much less disruption than was at one time feared, is due to the close co-operation of Mr McAra of the Regional Architect's Department, Mr Paterson, Assistant Rector (Administration) and Mr Prunty, Head Janitor, who among them have managed this complex operation with efficiency and good humour. The results of the alterations are a great credit to Mr McAra and the tradesman of Fife Region Works Department. One function of the newsletter is to welcome new members of staff and to thank those who are leaving. This issue is no exception. At the end of the term we lose through retiral four members of staff whose combined service in Madras College and, in some cases, in the old Burgh School totals over 100 years - Mr A.

  • Fife Council Transportation Services Financial Methodology for Strategic
    DRAFT 1 (6/9/10) Fife Council Transportation Services Financial Methodology for Strategic Transport Interventions for Fife Development Plan Introduction This paper details the approach taken in determining a Financial Methodology for establishing developer contributions to deliver the transportation infrastructure required for the Approved Fife Structure Plan (AFSP), the Kirkcaldy & Mid Fife Local Plan (KMFLP) and Dunfermline & West Fife Local Plan (DWFLP). The transportation interventions detailed within this report provide an indicator of the likely scale of infrastructure and costs which may be required to deliver development within the AFSP, the KMFLP and the DWFLP The schemes considered within this report are only potential transportation interventions. The actual infrastructure and services necessary to deliver the proposed development can only be fully determined following completion of detailed Transport Assessment (TA) work, which will take account of all current policy. The TA work will be used to update the outcomes of this transport methodology accordingly. It is assumed, at this stage, that all these strategic transport interventions will be paid for by Section 75 legal agreements outwith the developers site boundaries. Background The AFSP proposes development of some 35,000 housing units and significant levels of employment land during the next 20 years. The assessment and development work for the AFSP commenced in 2002. At that time, a range of alternative development options were being considered which considered the relative accessibility of the Strategic Land Allocations (SLAs) to the bus and rail network. In order to assess these options in a pragmatic and efficient way it was decided to assess the alternative land use development scenarios using the micro-simulation transportation modelling tool, Paramics.

  • Education Portfolio BAM CONSTRUCTION Schools Design & Build Experience
    BAM Construction Scotland Education Portfolio BAM CONSTRUCTION Schools Design & Build Experience BAM Construction have been building in the UK since 1874. Schools, hospitals, university departments, hotels, laboratories, offices, cultural venues and museums… from the iconic to the purely functional. We’re always focused on delivering locally, while able to draw on international expertise, resources and economies of scale. In Scotland, we’ve constructed some exemplary buildings in recent years - from the stunning V&A Museum on the waterfront in Dundee to the iconic Riverside Transport Museum in Glasgow. BAM developed the SFT Pathfinder Schools exemplars at Lasswade and Eastwood in 2013 and programmes of several new schools for East Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire before delivering “Building Fife’s Future” new schools initiative. We recently completed three outstanding Primaries, two for Glasgow and another for East Renfrewshire, and our Waid Community Campus project in Fife won the Education Project of the Year award in 2018. Last year we completed the outstanding Jedburgh Intergenerational Community Campus for Borders Council and we are currently finishing the new Madras High School in St Andrews on programme despite delays due to Covid. Our credentials for quality design and build projects in the Schools sector, delivered on time and on budget, are therefore exemplary. BAM: Building a sustainable tomorrow Primary School Experience MAIDENHILL PRIMARY SCHOOL East Renfrewshire Council, 2019: £13m Project Description Completed in the Summer of 2019, Maidenhill Primary School is located within a green field site owned by East Renfrewshire Council that forms part of the wider Maidenhill housing development master plan The school provides a two-stream non-denominational primary school for 444 pupils, together with a nursery for 120 children.
