Renfrewshire school pupils were getting down to business at a careers day event earlier this week.

Erskine Waterfront Campus organised the fun event for students in their playing field, with around 400 children and young people from local schools and nurseries taking part.

There were representatives from the emergency services, including Police Scotland, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Falck firefighters based at Glasgow Airport.

She told The Gazette: "There were lots of smiling faces and laughter.

"This year we had more games and interactive things to do, as well as being able to speak about future opportunities with the exhibitors which were on the tables.

"Falck were spraying water across the field, with the kids able to have a go with the hoses and soaking the cars. It was great fun."
