FALCONRY CLUB

Terms I and III – Tuesdays and Thursdays 3.45 pm – 4.45 pm

The Falconry Club at Dollar Academy gives pupils the unique opportunity to experience learning how to handle, fly and look after a variety of birds of prey. The students are taught by professionals from the world of falconry who have had many years experience in teaching and flying birds of prey.

  The students will also have the opportunity to take a government recognised qualification (LANTRA Award) which is desirable before owning a bird of prey and is a potential legal requirement.  This also counts as a skill towards the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and would be desirable for anyone considering a career in veterinary work.  More information is available from Miss Griffith, Business Education Department.
