BGE Celebration / Graduation – We took time to celebrate and congratulate our S3’s as they come to the end of their Broad General Education and move into the Senior Phase of S4,5,6. This comes with added responsibility and maturity required, our S3’s certainly demonstrated that and we look forward to their many successes in S4.
Science showcase – Today, our triple science class took part in a scientific poster conference. The class have done a fantastic job, researching and producing posters on a topic of their choice. The pupils produced an incredibly high standard of work and showcased their passion and knowledge of science when presenting their work to staff today! Well done to all and thank you to Mr Crawford and the Science Team.
S3 Drama Productions – Our S3’s were part of planning, marketing, leading and of course performing in 2 super shows this week. Both nights / groups completed their final shows Tristan and Yseult and the Red Shoes on Tuesday and Wednesday Evening to an audience of staff parents,family and friends. Thank you to all for supporting this event as it means so much to the pupils. The Drama Team were very proud of them all. Mr Irvine, Drama

Trip S1 Bannockburn note from Ms Gooch – A glorious day for our S1 trip to Bannockburn. We learned about the weapons used at Bannockburn, as well as the tactics which won the Scots the Battle in 1314. There were quizzes, weapon handling, dressing up as soldiers and battle planning which everyone engaged in extremely well, highlighting what they have been learning recently in Social Subjects. Well done everyone on a successful trip!
Trip Maths and Construction – Our S3’s had a great experience of construction in the City as they visited the Castle to see the stand being built up for the Fringe and Festival. A great example of Maths and engineering in real life roles across the City.
