Next week sees the start of the S3 exams. Over the next fortnight our S3 will get their first experience of examinations. They will sit a selection of single period assessments in their subject at the level they are currently studying.
The exams will give the S3 an opportunity to practise their exam technique under timed conditions. Some of the exams will take place in the exam hall in Ralston currently being used for the ‘real’ SQA exams.
Here are some more achievements from our fabulous young people!
Well done to S3 pupils who spoke to the Education Committee this morning in East Renfrewshire’s Council Offices about their Duke of Edinburgh Award experiences and new opportunities.
The student are: Carla, Callum, Robyn, Hassan and Taylor.
They were a credit to themselves and to the school.
Well done to Mrs Kirkpatrick’s S1 English class who performed the poems that they’d written using Scots language. They read confidently and their poems were very much enjoyed by the class and two s
pecial guests.
This free practical training is designed to increase parents’ and carers’ awareness of bullying and the other risks and challenges children and young people face online. It includes a practical, hands-on session on social media, looking at how to set and manage profiles and privacy settings, to help ensure that children and young people are safe online.

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 ParentPay.
We hope that students make the most of this opportunity, and make great strides in their learning as they prepare for their SQA examinations.
Congratulations to our teams still competing in the final week of the Young Enterprise Tenner Challenge.
