Prestwick Academy Podcast

This week, our guidance teachers are talking about your future careers. Ms Russell and Mrs Blackwood are joined by our Careers Adviser Mr Foley and several of our Prestwick Academy alumni to discuss how to go about choosing and pursuing an exciting career pathway.

This episode of our podcast is brought to you by our student library committee. Taking over the podcast for a week to celebrate Book Week Scotland 2020, they tell you a little bit about what the library does, why reading is so important, and review some of the things that the school got up to for Book Week. This includes great book recommendations, looking back at our virtual author event with Robin Stevens and a sneak preview of an interview with American author Heather Reid.
