A
With 830 students aged between 8 and 12, Lochaber High School, at Fort William, is one of the largest secondary schools in the Highlands. It covers a huge area and many of the students come from small communities and travel up to 40 km to get into school every day. In the past, the school covered a much larger area and many students had to stay in one of the school dormitories, or if older to live with local families, but other high schools have opened in the West Highlands, so the catchment area(责任区域) for Lochaber, though still very large, is not as large as it used to be. Students travel into school by car, by bus, or by special minibus every day, and some go on foot or by bike. Most students just live in Fort William, or in one of the surrounding villages.
At the end of their high school life, and after getting higher or advanced higher grade exam results, most students decide to move on to some form of further education. Some students can remain, taking specialised courses at the West Highland college, but many leave home in Lochaber and go south or east to other cities. Many young people in this area feel that there are not enough opportunities here. Going to a city certainly means new friends, a whole new lifestyle, and a more exciting night life.
Even though Fort William is, in a way, small and far away from cities, as far as I am concerned, it is a great place to live. There is a real community atmosphere(氛围) here, and many people know, or are related to, many other people. There is always something to do or to see in Fort William and there is no excuse for being bored! But there is one thing that is certain for everyone, that is, Highland hospitality. It is still very real, very alive!People look forward to seeing you!
