National 5 Financial Services
N5 Financial Services students , in the Business Department , have been learning about different ways to save and borrow and the advantages and disadvantages of each . They have been comparing different financial products currently on the market .
They used Canva to design help guides about cash budgets and tips for saving – you can see some examples above .
After the Christmas break the class will start their Employability unit – taking part in mock interviews !
Keep up the good work everyone .
Eco Schools Green Flag Award !
Written by Mr Lindsay
This month our Marr College Eco Committee successfully gained the ‘ Eco Schools Green Flag Award ’ which recognises the school ’ s efforts to reduce our environmental footprint and implement more sustainable approaches to learning . Many of the group have been working on this award for the last 2 / 3 years and it is wonderful to see their hard work and effort being rewarded with such prestigious recognition . Well done everyone involved !
