  • Dictionary of Scottish Architects
    DICTIONARY OF SCOTTISH ARCHITECTS GAVIN McCONNELL GAVIN McCONNELL (1923-2014) AND THE EDUCATION DIVISION AT FIFE COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHITECTS DEPARTMENT IN THE POST-WAR PERIOD In the aftermath of the Second World War, central government and local authorities were engaged in a huge drive to provide not only new housing, but also more schools. There were numerous reasons for this: the Education Act of 1945 (1944 in England) made free senior secondary education available to all pupils qualified to take it. In 1947 the school leaving age was raised from 14 to 15. The ‘baby boom’ after the war began to have an effect on the numbers of infants entering school, while the existing stock of schools was becoming outdated and unsuitable for modern teaching needs. School building was the fullest expression of the movement for a social architecture in Britain which had gathered pace in the 1930s and found its outlet in the service of the post-war welfare state. This huge surge of school building activity is nowhere more in evidence than in the County of Fife. In 1947 Robert Sorley Lawrie was appointed County Architect in Fife, the first in this position after the war. Lawrie was an Aberdonian by birth and had worked in the City Architect’s Department in Dublin before moving back to Scotland to take up his new position in Fife. The Department was divided into three sections: Housing, Education and Maintenance. Because of the increased demand for housing and schools, after his arrival Lawrie started building up the Department by appointing a number of young architects, including Gavin Haveron McConnell, who arrived to work in the Education section in 1953.

  • WHAN Publication Final Printer
    The Working in Health Access Network Interim Report and Discussion Paper January 2009 Foreword The Working in Health Access Network (WHAN) exists to increase interest in a career in health amongst school pupils. The focus of WHAN is to increase their aspirations and provide information concerning courses in healthcare in both universities and colleges - as well as introducing them to a wide range of exciting options for the future. The National Health Service (NHS) is the largest employer in the country and is central to the well being of the economy at large. At the heart of any strong and confident organisation is a knowledgeable, professional and motivated workforce. WHAN works directly with the next generation of health workers to ensure that the health sector is staffed by committed individuals with the skills required to help make Scotland a healthier, stronger, fairer, smarter and wealthier place in which to live, study and work. This report portrays the development of the WHAN network so far. It also raises questions and challenges for the future. As the current phase of WHAN continues until this July, the complete statistical analysis is not yet available. Nevertheless, there is considerable creativity, innovation and success in WHAN school and college activities. This report is an introduction to these activities; more detailed outcomes will be available from the middle of 2009. The project has forged a successful partnership. It grew out of the Working in Health Access Programme (WHAP) that was aimed particularly at medicine and veterinary medicine. The need to diversify to other health professions became apparent in order to fulfil the aspirations of young people, to provide realistic ambitions for them and, also, to be more cost effective.

The League is part of a national programme organised by the Scottish FA and Scottish Disability Sport. Balwearie High School, Lochgelly High School and Woodmill High School have signed up for the Fife League and the first in a series of three sessions was held at Kirkcaldy High School on Wednesday 24 November. Disability Sport Fife is indebted to the Rector and staff of Kirkcaldy High School for all the support they provided in staging the event. Buckhaven HS pupils will join the league in March for Series 3. The winners of the Fife League will go forward to the National League finals on the afternoon of Friday 27 May at the magnificent new Ravenscraig facilities outside Glasgow. As an incentive to participating in the League, the Scottish FA have donated new footballs, cones, bibs and coaching leaflets to the three participating schools. Assistant Disability Football Officer, Greig Taylor of the Scottish FA handed over the kit to individual school representatives prior to the first match. On display also were the medals, shields and trophy that the individual schools were playing for and will be presented after the third series matches on March 2nd 2011.

  • Disability Sport Fife (SC048722)
    Annual Accounts 2019-20 Scottish Charity Reference SC048722 Disability Sport Fife (SC048722) Annual Review 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 The Board of Charity Trustees of Disability Sport Fife (SCIO) has successfully completed year one of operation with a review of membership categories, satisfactory upskilling of the Trustees and the introduction of more efficient ways of operating. The introduction of online banking has improved the financial efficiency of the charity immensely and even stronger ties with Fife Sports and Leisure Trust have improved our financial position. The Get Out Get Active (GOGA in Fife) programme supported by Spirit of 2012 has come to an end after three years and its legacy is far reaching and exciting. Active recreation is now firmly embedded in the DSF (SCIO) constitution as well as sport and this is a direct result of GOGA. DSF (SCIO) is much more inclusive in ethos and practice and reaching out to more diverse communities because of GOGA. The DSF data base includes information on over 700 members of all ages and abilities with physical, sensory or learning disabilities because of the GOGA initiative. Succession planning and robust fundraising has enabled DSF (SCIO) to continue with all the participation initiatives established through GOGA. GOGA influences are here to stay in Fife. DSF weekly sessions continue to thrive and remain the cornerstone of our movement. GOGA influences have led to higher attendances and a wider range of participant interests. Successful negotiations with Fife Sports and Leisure Trust have led to the employment of additional coaches and extra facility space.
