Talent ID

A group of S3 pupils were selected to attend a talent ID day for Scottish Athletics. The event was called ‘Playground to Podium’ and was a chance for Scottish Athletics to draw in talent from other sporting areas. The pupils selected were Finn Sutherland, Kailin Brannigan, Callum Beattie, Jakub Proctor, Hannah Robb, Kate Fraser and Georgia Ferrie. The athletes were involved in running, throwing and jumping and all performed exceptionally well winning many of the group stations. The next stage in this process involves inviting back the top athletes to work with specialist coaches.

County Sports

For the nineteenth time in twenty-one years, Arbroath High School was the winners of the Angus County Sports. This represents an astonishing, sustained level of success given the competitive nature of the event between the eight Angus secondary schools and the relative sizes of the schools. In addition to the overall success, the team from AHS won the S2, S3 and Senior girls categories as well as the S3 boys.
