Spring Break
The school will dismiss slightly early today at 2.30 pm for the Spring Break.
Pupils will return at the normal time on Monday 18th April 2016.
Yesterday we had a photoshoot for the start of the work on the new school so watch out for that in the press over the next week or two. It is great to see the work started and so far all is going smoothly. Can I thank all parents and pupils for their cooperation in not coming into the school grounds for drop-off or pick-up. That appears to be working well. Please let me know if you have any concerns.
The SQA exams will commence 2 weeks after our return, we have a busy schedule for Easter School for S4-6 and the S3 will be coming back to exams at that time as well – no rest for the wicked!
Please encourage your young people to strike a healthy balance between studying and some break periods as well.

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.
BAM Newsletter 1
As intimated last week, the legal and financial arrangements were completed on Monday 21st March and work has started already – the Johnny Kelly Pavilion was already down before I left school for the Easter Weekend. I am sure we are going to see things continuing to move at a fast rate.
BAM (the construction company) have issued their first newsletter which you can access via the link below. We will continue to help communicate information as the project develops.
