“
It ’ s been great having something to do over the summer . For anyone thinking of doing the programme next year , I ’ d say 100 % go for it .

Stuart McCanse HIVE Summer School Student
Our summer schools at the HIVE were a great success .
59 Ayrshire young people attended the four-week programmes at our Ayr and Kilmarnock campuses .
The summer schools involved a variety of exciting and engaging educational visits and physical activities .
The programmes are organised in partnership with East Ayrshire Council and South Ayrshire Council , and aim to keep young people engaged in education during the summer break after leaving school . Skills Development Scotland and Street League also contributed to the day-to-day delivery of the programme .
Each student was presented with a certificate at a special celebration of success ceremony held at both campuses at the end of the programme .
Speaking about his experience , student Stuart McCanse said “ It ’ s been great having something to do over the summer . For anyone thinking of doing the programme next year , I ’ d say 100 % go for it .”
Over thirty students from the programme are starting fulltime courses at the College in Supported Learning and The HIVE as well as curriculum areas such as childcare , hair and beauty , hospitality , motor vehicle , social science , trades and uniformed services .
