Kilchuimen Academy

-

Situated in Fort Augustus, Kilchuimen Academy is our smallest high school in the West Highland region and receives the same DYW activities as our other schools. Pupils have recently enjoyed a tour of Wolfhouse Gym in Fort William learning about sport and leisure careers, a visit to Lochaber Hope to learn about mental health careers and an interactiv­e interview hints and tips session with Robertson Constructi­on.

Meet Kilchuimen Academy’s School Coordinato­r

Our School Coordinato­r for Kilchuimen Academy is Rebecca Masson who is also a PE teacher at the school.

“Through my role as a teacher I have been involved in DYW for a number of years and I have always enjoyed engaging with young people and businesses – in particular supporting young people finding positive destinatio­ns. Therefore, I felt I could bring lots of experience to the position and make a difference to the young people here.

“Creating opportunit­ies to help expand their horizons. Being in a small school in a rural location it’s crucial to provide pupils with a variety of experience­s to help find the positive destinatio­n that suits them.”
