We have been deeply saddened to hear about the fire that devastated the Armadale Shed. Our staff and students wanted to do something to help rebuild it. Let’s give something back to a place which is at the heart of the community! If you can, donate here: https://t.co/7hC3qTs2Dc

@ArmadaleCDT @WestLoCollege @ArmadaleAcademy Really enjoyed spending the day @armadCDT. Building on our CABEC success and sharing good practice between schools and colleges #CareerChoices @WestLoCollege #StaffCPD

We were hugely privileged to welcome @GraemeBinnie on Tuesday this week. He told our S3 CDT learners about his career, about life at @WestLoCollege and told us how woodwork saved his life! We hope for more interactions like this with Graeme and his colleagues in the future!

A brilliant experience last night as we welcomed many universities, colleges and employers to ⁦@ArmadaleAcademy⁩. It was great to open the doors to so many friendly faces. Find our vlog here: https://t.co/65inEIjIXV Thanks to Mr McAlpine for organising this!😊

Our S3 hospitality classes were both joined by two members of the Royal Navy's Attract Team. We learned about life in the navy, what it's like at sea and most importantly, how to make a delicious gnocchi and meatball dish! Thanks again! @royalnavy @RNinScotland

Allan is one of our amazing Advanced Higher Graphics students. He has a passion for graphic design and created a poster based around the @ProjectJetixUS brand. I'm sure you'll agree that it looks awesome!
