Download: Christmas Bulletin 2015

As we come to the end of 2015, it is fitting that this bulletin is once again packed full of so many successes and achievements from our young people.  Our pupils continue to take advantage of the many different  opportunities being offered at the Academy.

Congratulations to all the pupils who have been successful in so many different areas this term and thank-you to all the staff who continue to go the extra mile to support our young people through the curriculum and beyond.

Funding from the school sponsored walk fund enabled the Library to buy several Lego education kits and set up a new lunchtime club. First meeting in October 2015, Lego club has members from S1-S4.

We set ourselves the challenge of recreating the John Lewis advert using Lego. We had great fun making it and hope you like it!
