S3 Exam Timetable

Please click here to download or simply view the timetable for the upcoming third year exams. The third year exams are spread out over two and a half weeks and are our S3 pupils first real experience of formal examinations: some of the exams will take place in the actual games hall that is hosting the SQA exams which are starting today!
 
All pupils will be assessed in every subject they have undertaken, either at National 4 or National 5 level. It is our hope that the experience of sitting formal exams will serve the pupils well in the future as they begin their S4 and the run up to the SQA exams in 2015 and beyond.
 
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the school if you want more information or have any questions about the timetable attached.
 
Thank you for your continued support and good luck to all of the students!

Swimming Success!

Scottish National Swimming Championships – Dec 2013

Kirsty McGinley (S3) recently took part in the above swimming championships and had a fabulous weekend smashing PB’s in every event she entered.

Kisrty’s new times are as follows:

800m freestyle – 9:39:87
400m freestyle – 4:45:29
100m Individual Medley – 1:12:74
400m Individual Medley – 5:16.41

In the 400M Individual Medley, Kirsty came 17th out of 72 entries – a fabulous achievement considering Kirsty was swimming against the best young swimmers in Scotland and England.

Kirsty’s next big event will be later this month when she returns to the Commonwealth Pool for the East Districts Championship.
