 St Andrews welcomes Mr Alastair McCloud as a guest speaker

on a career in Marine Engineering

At St. Andrews we were pleased to welcome Mr. Alastair McCloud to school to talk to our Year 9 and 11 students about a career in Marine Engineering. Alasdair grew up in the Pattaya area and went to school at a local International School until the end of Year 7. He then returned to the UK to complete his High School Education.  Alasdair is currently in his final year of study at the City of Glasgow College. He will soon graduate as a fully qualified Marine Engineer. As a part of his talk with the students, Alasdair let students know about engineering in general, explained what life was like working on a ship for extended periods of time and studying in the UK. His talk was extremely informative and also very relevant for our students as they start to look ahead and plan their future careers.
