Pupils experienced a range of activities from making concrete to surveying the great lawn.

The event was planned in collaboration with staff across all of the schools, business partners, Forth Valley College and the Helix and was a great example of partnership working and developing skills for life and work.

The group has now been set a challenge to design a new a sheltered space at the park that can be used for a variety of activities.
