Welcome to the Business Studies Department. S1 (cFe) Business Education/ICT Business and enterprise are at the heart of national growth and development, and this is reflected in our S1 course which has been developed in line with Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes. Learning takes place within a context relevant to S1 pupils, giving them the opportunity to develop crucial skills. For example, pupils have sourced information on mobile phone contracts and services and decided on which contracts offer them the best value. Webdesign, Budgeting and Business Ethics are also covered in this course.
S2 (cFe) Business Education /ICT As well as giving pupils a broad understanding of Accounting, Business Management and Administration, this course provides pupils with the opportunity to experience the Standard Grade subjects offered in the Business Education/ICT department. This in turn allows them to make an informed choice when deciding on the Standard Grade course(s). In the ICT elements pupils will learn how to design a web page, create an animated cartoon and game and learn how to use Microsoft Office packages.
Administration This subject is available to all students at Standard Grade, with progression to Intermediate 1/2 and Higher level. It covers various aspects of the business environment including functions of departments (marketing, sales, finance etc), sources of information, travel and health and safety at work to name but a few! Another important element in this course is ICT (Information & Communications Technology). Study of the course will equip students with a level of competence required for using a range of software packages in an office environment. The knowledge and skills developed in Administration will enhance young people’s ability to be effective contributors to society whatever they chose to do after school. The core skills learned in Administration will be of benefit in their future environment whether that be college, university or the world of work.
Business Management This subject is available to pupils in S3/S4 with progression to Higher or Intermediate 2 level. This is an excellent subject to choose if you see yourself managing your own business or pursuing a career in the business world, but it is also of general interest, as it deals with many issues which we all encounter in our everyday lives. This course enables students to understand the role and operation of business, to exercise problem-solving skills and to employ these skills to communicate by means of written or spoken language.
Students are required to work with others as well as on their own, thus developing inter-personal skills required when working in a business environment.
REVISION MATERIALS WILL BE PLACED HERE AT A LATER DATE.
