The day long Conference has been based around the school curriculum with pupils spending the morning discussing UK political issues and the afternoon focussing on specific Higher Modern Studies exam technique and general study skills. This will be the third year that the Conference has been organised.
Tom Ferguson, Dyce Academy Principal Teacher of Modern Studies and part of the Aberdeen City Council Modern Studies Network said: "Feedback from pupils attending previous Conferences has been very positive with them seeing the event as highly relevant to their forthcoming exams. The consolidation and embellishment they receive is a great help to all abilities and may be one reason behind the successful results our schools have been receiving in recent years."
