IT’S been a busy few months for pupils at St Benedict’s High School who are now beginning to look forward to the Christmas holidays. 

In October, over 40 senior students from the Linwood-based school attended the annual Skills Scotland Careers Fair at the SECC. 

A whole host of Scottish and UK-wide businesses were in attendance as pupils explored the next steps beyond school.

Held at the On-X Leisure Centre, the aim of the event was to allow pupils to make new friendship groups in a bid to aid their transition from primary. 

During the sessions, students developed their communication and decision making skills.
