Staff Spotlight - Charlie Collie

Our Social and Vocational Studies department are a dedicated, qualified and specialist team with extensive experience teaching and supporting students who benefit from additional support for their learning. We caught up with SVS subject leader - Charlie Collie - to find out a bit more about him, and his job.

Staff Spotlight - Ollie James

For this month’s Staff Spotlight, we caught up with Sport and Fitness Lecturer - Ollie James - who has worked at Perth College UHI for over a year now. His colleagues describe him as a very funny guy - who dresses up as a dinosaur for team meetings - as well as hard working, conscientious, and caring towards his students. Ollie gives us an insight into his job roles, and his particular dislike of cheese.

Blue Monday

Our guest blogger - Claire Nelson, Perth College UHI Counsellor - writes:

So, we are well into January and, by now, our New Year’s resolutions may very well have been thrown out the window. We might have got ourselves into Christmas debt, the joys of Christmas Day are long gone, and it still seems like ages until January payday! Sound familiar? Oh, hello ‘Blue Monday’.

New Year, New Opportunities

Did you know, Friday 1st January is Commitment Day and Saturday 2nd January is Motivation/Inspiration Day? The New Year can be a really good opportunity to evaluate our lives. This year, more than ever.

2021

2021. The year all events will (hopefully) happen - when it didn’t in 2020. The United Nations declared 2021 as the International Year of Peace and Trust, the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development, and the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables.

Staff Spotlight - Domini Grant

We are really pleased to have Domini Grant as our guest blogger this week. Domini is an Early Education and Childcare Lecturer at Perth College UHI, and wants to share her experience of being diagnosed with dyslexia at a later stage in life.
