Over the next few weeks all S4 and S5 students will be looking at the subjects they wish to continue studying in 5th or 6th year.
The following booklets explain what courses are available to students:
3. Advanced Higher courses (S6 only)
Each student will have an interview with either their Pastoral Support Teacher or a member of the Senior Leadership Team, to help them with their decision.
If students are unclear about what a particular course involves, then they are welcome to ask for advice from a teacher or principal teacher of that subject.
Scholar – an online resource developed by Heriot Watt university – have been updating and extending their courses to fit with the new National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher courses.
They recently published a Parent Information leaflet to help explain the benefits of using Scholar.
Scholar is an exciting resource that allows students to access free course materials for a variety of subjects. In addition Scholar have been running Live Homework Sessions, which have proved particularly popular.
Students will require their Scholar login details to access these resources; speak to either your class teacher about obtaining these or see Mr Boag in Maths.
Please note: S4 – National 5 – prelim exams start on Monday, 30th November.
A copy of the timetable can be found here: S4 Prelim Exam Timetable 2015
We would encourage all of our students to be familiar with the day and time of your exams. If you would like extra advice on studying and dealing with exam stress then visit the SQA study guides website.
The link here will take you to the supported study timetable for National 5 pupils in S4 as they approach their prelims. The S4 prelims take place between the 30th of November and the 11th of December. The supported study timetable includes specific planned lessons on key aspects of the courses that will feature in the examinations. Please encourage your son / daughter to make a note of the sessions that are relevant and appropriate to their subjects.
As Head Teacher I know that the prelims are a busy and challenging time for the pupils. However, with hard work and the right preparation, (supported study will play an important role in this), we know that our young people will be rewarded with the success they deserve. Good luck and prepare well!
Well done to all of our S1-S6 female students who are in the process of learning a dance routine as part of Active Girls Day 2015.
All of the girls across all year-groups are getting involved. Later on today the girls will perform together in one enormous #ActiveGirlsDay finale!
