Vale of Leven Academy is a non-denominational, co-educational comprehensive school near Loch Lomond which draws its pupils from the surrounding communities.
The school was built in the 1960s and one of its two buildings was lost in a fire in June 2002. Around 30 classrooms are currently housed in hutted accommodation. The school is to be totally rebuilt with an expected completion date of August 2009.
Susan has been a Computing and ICT teacher at VOLA since August 2002. She is a Glow mentor for West Dunbartonshire Council and is the chairperson of the school’s ICT committee.
