Balwearie:Connect is a joint venture between Balwearie High School and a group of Balwearie former pupils, triggered by the community spirit of the Covid pandemic, in supporting education. Following the benefit of their Balwearie education, this former pupils network will share experience with current pupils, to support their life and career decisions.

A wide range of experience will emerge, reflecting the many paths followed by Balwearie pupils, from the near and far corners of the world and in many walks of life.

Balwearie:Connect is planned to develop as an interactive forum, under the umbrella of Balwearie High School, managed by former pupils, with engagement from current pupils and support from the school. It is a voluntary initiative and will rely on input from all. A multitude of initiatives are in planning and will be developed organically on a long-term basis.

Balwearie:Connect Partnerships

This exciting initiative links former pupils to school subject areas, so that our current learners can see the relevance of their classroom learning to future careers and the world of work. 
We would welcome any and all forms of partnership to suit the availability of former pupils who would be willing to give a little time to this initiative. 
To kick things off we simply want to match former pupils to appropriate school departments to get a conversation going. Please complete the form.
