S2 – Climbed a mountain!
On Monday, 24th June, most of our S2 students had a school trip to Balmaha, where they climbed Conic Hill.
The weather was lovely, the views were exceptional and the students were a credit to the school! Well done to everyone that managed the climb.

S1 Rapid Response Engineering Project
This week our 1st year students are taking part in a Institute of Civil Engineering project called Rapid Response. Students were given a Motivation Talk on Friday of last week, which got students thinking about the effect of a hurricane in Honduras.
S1 classes this week are all based around the aftermath of a hurricane. Students are taught about the difficulties people face after a hurricane and how engineers can help with fixing roads, water supplies and communications.
On Thursday, 30th May students will complete the Rapid Response project with a Challenge Day. Students will compete in teams building temporary shelters, purifying water and cycling.
We hope S1 enjoy the Rapid Response Project.
Advanced Higher English Class
Theatre Trip
The Advanced Higher English class recently went to see a performance of Christopher Marlowe’s ‘Doctor Faustus’ at the Citizens Theatre. It was a culmination of the Advanced Higher course and the production was much enjoyed by all. The play, which was written over 400 years ago, looked at age-old themes of evil, power and materialism. Its modern adaptation made it particularly relevant to modern day audiences.
Opinions from our pupils include:
“The play’s themes remain relevant hundreds of years after it was written.”
“The play was able to convey its original message by adapting it to the 21st century.”
“It showed how the consequences of mankind’s quest for power is still relevant today.”
“A live theatre production was far more engaging than watching a film. You should go!”
