Stepping Stones is an ambitious programme for all S1 to S4, taking place every Wednesday afternoon throughout the school year.

It combines Career Education, Career Management Skills, Religious Education and Health and Wellbeing education, into one core programme which provides incredible opportunities for every young person. Through a variety of experiences within and outwith the school, pupils connect with professionals, advisors, former pupils, and a wide community,  developing their understanding of themselves, the world around them, the needs of others, and how they can be outward looking, as they prepare for the future.
