Alumni Achievement
Here at Lochgilphead High School, we have been keeping a watchful eye on our current pupils' wider achievements. It is also really great to hear about our past pupils achievements. We have created a new page in the Wider Achievement section to celebrate the further achievement and success that Lochgilphead High School pupils have continued to gain.
Calum Turner is currently finishing off a Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering at ISAE Supaero in Toulouse, France. This school is considered to be one of the best in its field in Europe.
Calum is also doing freelance work for AstroAgency in Edinburgh and participating in some science communication work for Hubble Telescope, all whilst doing his Masters Degree.
These are all really incredible achievements and we look forward to hearing more about Calum’s future success.
Some of Calum’s work can be found in the attached article from The Guardian Newspaper The Herald Digital
Lynsey Fyfe
Congratulations are in order for Lynsey Fyfe, one of our members of support staff. Less than 2 years ago while supporting an English class, Lynsey made a tentative enquiry about whether or not it might maybe be possible for her to sit her Higher English at some point. Before she had time to think about it, she found herself entered and got an A in last year's exam. She is now studying English part time at university while continuing to work as a Learning Support Assistant in the High School.
Now as part of her course Lynsey has not only had her first article published on Spillwords.com, she has been nominated for ‘Publication of the Month’!!
Lynsey’s article is called ‘Generational Fragility’ and can be found here:- Generational Fragility, an essay by Lynsey Fyfe at Spillwords.com
It is an interesting and thought provoking read on some of the challenges that come along with raising children in modern times.
To vote for Lynsey’s publication, please click on the link below:
Voting closes 5pm on Friday 30th April.
This is a huge step forward for Lynsey, not only has one of her pieces been published, it is now up for an even bigger showcase. Here's to many more publications.
Good Luck Mrs. Fyfe!!
