Today pupils partipated in the annual school Faculty Challenges.  Pupils in Business Education competed in house teams against others in the Stock Market Challenge. 

This is an online simulated trading environment where pupils have to make decisions on shares/currency to buy and sell based on news and radio reports broadcast through throughout the simualtion.

After a battle between all the teams and various teams holding the top position throughout the challenge period (that's the nature of the stock market!) house points were awarded as follows.

  • 1st Lammerlaw
  • 2nd Garleton
  • 3rd Traprain

Well done to all pupils who took part.
