Edinburgh Book Festival

September 3, 2015 Mr Boag

On Monday, 31 August S2 and S3 pupils visited the Edinburgh Book Festival to hear author Matt Whyman talk about his books and what inspired him.

Pupils had the opportunity to browse in the bookshop and have their lunch in beautiful (and sunny) gardens within the Book Festival grounds, before taking their front row seats in the auditorium. Many pupils bought Matt Whyman’s books and got them signed by him at the end of his session.

Here are some views from the pupils:

‘I really enjoyed the experience. Everyone was really friendly and always had a smile on their face.’

‘The Edinburgh Book Festival was brilliant.’

‘I loved hearing about Matt Whyman’s book, especially ‘The Savages’ because it sounds very good.

Gymnastics Achievements

March 10, 2015 Mr Boag

Our gymnasts recently took part in the East Renfrewshire heat of the schools competition. We had 3 teams competing; a level 1 and two level 2 teams. Each gymnast performs a floor routine and competes at vault. Although we did not win any medals at the competition the girls had all worked so hard on their skills over the term we awarded them medals for floor, vault and overall at each level based on their scores at the competition.
