After a very long bus journey to Elgin, our U16 Rugby side took on the King’s school (Gordonstoun) and won 29-24 in a tight end to end game. Stand out performers were Adam Given and Callum Gemmell with the latter Man of the Match.
Overall a brilliant day for our pupils, getting to experience one of the countries leading fee paying schools, seeing the campus and facilities as well as enjoying their hospitality.
Onto the next round of the Scottish Plate – fingers crossed for a home tie this time round!

Pupils in S4-6 will begin ‘study leave’ from Monday 24th April until Friday 2nd June, this covers the SQA exam diet. During this time pupils should not attend their usual timetable classes in school. Pupils are permitted to come into school and study for their exams in the open areas of C-block.
Any pupil who is sitting two or less N5 exams will be offered alternative education provision through our school partners at Yipworld, Skills Development Scotland and East Ayrshire Active Schools. Details of these sessions will be emailed to those parents / carers this afternoon.
Senior pupils who attend the SLC should continue to their normal classes during the exam diet.
We wish all of our young people the best of luck for their upcoming exams!
