Young Musician of the Year
Come along and see some of Kilmarnock Academy’s most talented young musicians and singers as they compete to earn a place in the East Ayrshire Rotary Club Young Musician of the Year. Our amazing school choir will also be keeping us entertained! Entry is free.
1O1 made landmark models from around the world as part of their S1 Geography course. Pupils brought in a fantastic array of landscapes and buildings and shared three facts with the class, this was a great fun way to increase our learning. Thanks to all pupils for their outstanding efforts.
S2 Geography embraced FairTrade Fortnight and had an experiential lesson where they had to produce and negotiate with how to get a fair price for their goods. Pupils had the opportunity to showcase their learning with a poster, information leaflet or PowerPoint. This provided new information and facts for all of the class.

Swiss Visitors
For the past two days Kilmarnock Academy have hosted 15 STEM teachers from Switzerland. The teachers visited the school to see the excellent work done throughout the school in relation to STEM.
We were chosen to host the Swiss delegates as one of few schools accredited with the STEM Nation award. The teachers were extremely impressed with all the STEM initiatives happening throughout the school. They especially praised the young people who presented to them this morning all the amazing hard work they have completed in STEM extra curricular clubs. It was clear to see by all the enthusiasm these pupils had for the field and the skills they developed through all their hard work. They represented the school perfectly.
The Swiss teachers commented on how welcoming and nurturing all staff and pupils were and left with a true reflection of the STEM efforts within the school and the inclusive ethos of the school.
Fun Run
What a great day at the annual fun run! There were lots of great costumes on display and everyone had a brilliant afternoon! All fun run money can be handed in at Wellbeing.
