School Demonstrations
The College offers a number of demonstrations in schools which gives students an indication of the type of skills and knowledge they can acquire whilst at college. These demonstrations are suitable for a range of pupil groups from S1 through to Intermediate 1 and 2 classes and can be tailored to include student participation providing an exciting alternative to traditional class based activity.
Previous demonstrations have included:
- Professional Cookery – knife skills, pasta dishes, vegetable cuts, food presentation skills
- Food Technology – food hygiene and food preservation
- Bakery – cake decoration
College Tours
The college offers the opportunity for school pupils to visit the college at events such as Information Days, Open Days and End of Year exhibitions. However if your school wishes to visit the college at a time more suitable to your school calendar please do not hesitate to get in touch to arrange a more suitable date.
Taster Sessions
A selection of activities are available to schools, all of which offer pupils the opportunity to experience college life in a subject area they are particularly interested in. These include Taster Days, Taster Weeks and certificated courses which are taught, in partnership with the school, on a day release basis.
Glasgow Curriculum Centre
The Glasgow Curriculum Centre is also located at Glasgow Metropolitan College – Rogart St Campus. The Curriculum Centre is a partnership between the college, the Construction Industry Training Board and Careers Scotland. It enables the development of projects which allow schools to deliver aspects of the curriculum using construction as a context for learning, with funding available where appropriate.
