Our S4s had quite the day at RBS's Thrive event. They chatted with RBS employees about varied careers paths, learnt about prompt engineering to get the most out of AI, smashed a cyber security escape room and had a Q&A with Olypian Duncan Scott about goals. @WCHSTechnology

Last week a group of 35 S3 pupils had the opportunity to visit Napier University's skills clinic where they train a variety of medical professions. Pupils tried the everyday maths required by nurses and also got to practise taking observations with the equipment. @WestCalderHigh

Another Your Future Week opportunity for our seniors to hear from Raytheon about engineering careers, how maths is involved, and different pathways into the industry, including their graduate apprenticeships. @WestCalderHigh

As Your Future Week comes to an end at @WestCalderHigh, we would like to highlight an opportunity our S3s had this week to speak with Mulholland Contracts about maths in construction and the pathways and opportunities avaliable within this industry.

Fabulous work from one of our S2 classes today. We were finding words where vowels x consonants = 12 and then 24. What great words 🌟 🤩@WCHSEnglishDpt @WestCalderHigh

Nearly 70 N5 and Higher Applications of maths pupils working hard at study support

Study support for nearly 100 pupils underway tonight for N5, Higher and AH! @WestCalderHigh

10th out of 62 schools from all over Scotland! An amazing effort from our @WestCalderHigh pupils. Well done team!!!

West Calder hosted the Enterprising Maths West Lothian heats today! Well done to all 11 schools that took part in the maths and fun filled morning!

A packed day for our S4s at The National Robotarium. They met spot the robot dog who entered some dangerous situations, a robotic whale which collected data from the deep sea, chatted with Ameca the humanoid, saw robotics used in medicine and home assistance @WCHSTechnology

Some S2s getting into the spirit of Maths Week Scotland working together to solve problems.

The sun was shining today for the first of our S2 Maths trips to @Visit_Whitelee @WestCalderHigh #STEM #outdoorlearning #realmaths

A big thank you and well done to our crew of S3 helpers for their great organisation and support with the P7 transition over the last two days! @WestCalderHigh

And that concludes our P7 visits - in teams they excelled in the numeracy relay, earning some cash which they had to budget to buy resources to build the tallest tower possible which also holds a tennis ball! Great STEM skills and team work shown by all @WestCalderHigh

A fantastic turn out tonight for our N5 maths and N5 applications of maths study late! A new record of at least 115 pupils coming along to work hard.
