High School OU students

Inverness High School was one of the first schools to offer Open University, introductory courses to S6 pupils as a preparation for further education and a way of expanding their curriculum. This year Emily Ross is studying a Medicines, Molecules and Drugs course which is a very useful extension to a Higher Chemistry course. While Garry MacKenzie is studying Web Design where the course requires him to design a website from scratch. Both pupils were recently interviewed by the Times Educational Supplement Scotland (TESS) [the education newspaper] about their impressions of the OU courses. The OU hopes that schools all over Scotland will follow suit and offer these interesting but challenging courses to S6 students.
