Outdoor Learning at Crawick for S1 & S2

On Monday 14th June (S1) and on Tuesday 15th June (S2) we are planning to do some outdoor learning at Crawick.  The intention is to build team skills and general knowledge, have fun and complete some work for their Literacy evidence.  We will walk up from school after registration, complete some house activities and team games and be back at school for lunch.  The refreshment stand will be open to buy any breaktime supplies (if you want them to).  After lunch we will be completing some Literacy and Art activities on the school site.
If you have not yet completed a consent form for going offsite, we will need one before we leave.
In terms of clothing, something suited to the weather and comfortable for walking (whether this means sunscreen or waterproofs, who knows!)
If you have any questions, just get in touch.

S6 Leavers Video 2021

It is with mixed emotions that we post this S6 leaver video.  We are sad to be losing such a fabulous group of young people but also delighted to see them moving onto such positive destinations.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank our S6 for all that they have done for and with the school, especially during the last very difficult year.  We wish you all well and know you will flourish in the new chapter of your lives.
Best wishes from all the staff at Sanquhar Academy.
