Our new Library is looking rather fantastic for World Book Day.  Thank you to Chloe and Miss Clements for their wonderful decorations. We are looking forward to our new books arriving in school very soon.

As part of LGBT History month pupils will be hosting ‘The Big Quiz’ on Thursday 24th Feb at Lunchtime. Pupils who wish to take part should go to the assembly hall at 1pm. Looking forward to seeing who wins all the fabulous prizes!

 

The Languages faculty recently celebrated Languages Week with French breakfasts for our three S2 classes , S1 and S2 pupils had lots of fun recording themselves in different languages and S3 French pupils interviewed staff to find out about their language learning experiences and opinions.

The music practical exams will be taking place this year on the 2nd, 16th and 21st of March this year. The timetable for the exams is on the Music classroom wall. Pupils have been told when their exam is and emails will be send out to parents and carers in the coming days.

Each pupil should make their way to the Music department half an hour before their exam time to warm up.

Pupils are encouraged to attend extra practises during lunchtimes on the run up to their exam.

Good luck to everyone sitting a practical exam this year!

Opportunity for anyone leaving school this year – interviews, apprenticeships and jobs. See Miss Dickman in Pupil Support if you would like any more information.

Hello,

 

We are delighted to let you know that our in person primary super 4s after school everts are back for the first time in two years!!!

Super 4s offers P4-7 pupils the opportunity to take part in 4 cross country races at various locations across Nithsdale.  Runners of all abilities are encouraged to take part, whether to improve fitness levels, improve performance or simply enjoy themselves.  All races are 1 mile (approx) with a shorter course (approx half a mile) for those who are working towards running a full mile.

We have four runs across four locations in Nithsdale (three in Dumfries and one in Thornhill) – full details can be found on the attached flyers and on our actify link where parents/guardians can also register their children.

Thank you to the Royal Navy for treating all the young people in S3 to their Come Dine With Me! taster session. It was a fabulous opportunity to hear about the wonderful experiences and opportunities available in the Royal Navy (and taste some cracking food). Here is the link to the recipe they were demonstrating Royal Navy Recipe  Why don’t you follow it and treat your family to a Royal Navy inspired meal?
