Holocaust Education Course – 2017 Children and Young People’s Awards Nomination

On Thursday we received news that our Holocaust Education Course has received a nomination for the Promoting Inclusion Award as part of the 2017 Children and Young People’s Services Awards programme. Our course has been recognised as a programme of excellence with the awards committee stating ‘The Holocaust provides one of the most effective subjects for examining basic moral issues. A structured inquiry into this history yields critical lessons for an investigation into human behaviour. It also addresses one of the central mandates of education in our curriculum which is to examine what it means to be a responsible citizen. Dyce Academy’s ‘Holocaust Education’ programme enables our young people to become Leaders in using their voice to fight inequality, stand up to hatred and change the world in which they live in’.

We are incredibly proud of all involved.  The Awards will be held in September.

S5-6 Course Changes

S5-6 students wishing to make any course changes in light of exam results, must see their Guidance Teacher in the first instance.  This should be arranged as soon as possible when school returns on Tuesday.  Until your new course choice has been confirmed by Guidance or Mrs Jamieson, you must attend classes on your original timetable.  Teaching Staff will not accept pupils leaving or entering classes until these procedures have been gone through.  All course changes must be completed by Friday 25 August.
