Notable finds included Ladybirds, centipedes, peacock butterflies and unfortunately New Zealand Flatworms.

 

Well done to all of the pupils that took part in the regional cross country event held at Kirroughtree. Their attitude and effort throughout the event was exceptional.

A fantastic effort by William Nash earned him a second placed finish in the S4 boys race (3 miles), Josh got a well placed 13th in the S3 boys (2.5 miles) and Andrew Ramsay got a creditable mid-place finish in the same race. Isobel Stevenson and Danny Jardine finished near the lower end of the field for their races (S1 girls – 1 mile and S2 boys – 2 miles).

All of our runners worked very hard and did not give up when faced by the  very challenging conditions before them. All were of great credit to the school, congratulations to all who took part.
