Italy Ski Trip – Feb 2015

Ski

This year’s Ski Trip staff and pupils were highly IT literate. They kept us informed daily via TWITTER of their progress with pictures and tweets.

They also took the school’s new GoPro video camera. This camera is the size of a matchbox and can be fastened to your body on a special harness. It is designed to give action filming while taking part in sporting activities – and skiing was the ideal sport to try it out on.

Pupils and staff took turns at wearing the camera and filmed lots of the action.

On their return, our talented school Media Technician, Matthew Mathieson,  downloaded some of the clips and put them together into an action-packed film. Check it out below!

Gymnastics Achievements

Our gymnasts recently took part in the East Renfrewshire heat of the schools competition. We had 3 teams competing;  a level 1 and two level 2 teams.  Each gymnast performs a floor routine and competes at vault.  Although we did not win any medals at the competition the girls had all worked so hard on their skills over the term we awarded them medals for floor, vault and overall at each level based on their scores at the competition.
