On Tuesday evening, we held our SQA Awards Ceremony to recognise a number of individuals who had outstanding success in their SQA exams.

As usual we recognised the pupils from S4 who had attained a National 5 award in 8 or 9 subjects. This year we had 21 of them including 2 who achieved 9 A passes – Ben Cross and Briony Giblin.

We also acknowledged the 27 pupils in S5 who achieved 4 or 5 Highers. 4 of these young people achieved all 5 awards at an A grade.

For the first time this year we also identified and recognised the individual with the highest mark in each subject in the SQA exams.

Another new award this year has been to celebrate the Dux and Runner-Up – the S5 pupils who scored the highest levels across all their 5 subjects. This year Iain MacCuish was our Dux and Amie MacKenzie was Runner-Up.

Well done to all pupils whose achievements were recognised on the night. Well done to all the other pupils whose own achievements were also significant for them.
