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.”
