Edinburgh Book Festival
S2 and S3 pupils visited the fabulous Edinburgh Book Festival to hear Keren David and Alex Wheatle talk about the characters in their books, how they became writers and what inspires them to create exciting stories.
Not only were the talks interesting, but the sun shone and the ice cream was delicious!
Here are some views from our pupils:
‘I thought that the book festival was very good this year.’
’I really liked Alex Wheatle. He gave us a lot of information about what his life has been like and what the book was about. He was quite funny.’
‘Can’t wait to come back next year.’

Celebrating outstanding success
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.
SQA RESULTS
By now all our S4, S5 &S6 should have received their SQA results and hopefully most will be happy with their achievements. We have seen some very good results.
However we know there will be some pupils who have not achieved what they hoped for. If you wish to discuss your results further, and particularly if you need to renegotiate your option choices for this session, Mrs Crawford (new S5) and Mr Beaton (new S6) will be available this Friday (12th Aug) to meet with you between 8.45 am and 10.20am or from 12.30pm to 1.30 pm.
