Duke of Edinburgh practice expeditions

Both the bronze and silver Duke of Edinburgh groups have been undertaking their practice expeditions this week.

The weather during the day has been favourable, but at night it has been bitterly cold. However all students have coped admirably.

Easter School Timetable

We are delighted to announce that our Easter School Program will run again this year.

Over the last few weeks the senior students have been signing-up for revision classes in a variety of subjects.  Each full morning session costs £3.25 and we ask that this is paid, in advance, online, using the payment for schools.

We hope that students make the most of this opportunity, and make great strides in their learning as they prepare for their SQA examinations.

SmartStems – June 2015

Last year a group of S3 girls attended a SmartSTEM – Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics – Event in Caledonian University.  A promotional video has been released to encourage more students to attend further events taking place later this year.

Well done to Briony, Emma, Eilidh, Daniella, Rebecca, Jessica, Martine, Kirsty, Ashleigh, Abbi and Chloe who all attended the event and a massive thank-you to the four girls who all faced the camera too; Jodie, Rachel, Catriona & Nicole.
