A reminder that it is vitally important that all S4 pupils have handed in both the white consent form and, most importantly, the green risk assessment form. If pupils require a replacement form they should ask at the office or speak to Mr Clelland or Miss Gordon.
If you have any queries about work experience please contact the school office for more information.
Work experience week dates are the 27th – 31st October but forms MUST be in prior to this to allow for processing. Pupils are expected to secure their own placements where possible.
Do you have an interest in basketball and want to start playing? Come along to the Games Hall every Monday after school to Miss Walker’s basketball club. Please be ready in your PE kit ready to begin at 3.45pm and we will be finished by 4.45pm. Girls of all ages and abilities welcome.
If you would like to come and speak to me to find out more information you will find me in Geography room 37, or just come along on Mondays.
If any of our senior students have concerns over changing subjects or changing levels, given recent examination results, then Mrs Crawford is available to discuss this today and tomorrow from 12 – 2 pm.
Please pop into school if you need to see Mrs Crawford.
Easter School will run Tuesdays to Thursday, from 9.00 – 12.15 each week of the holidays. There is a good variety of sessions on offer with different subjects and levels.
Pupils should already have signed up for session at an unbelievedly good value of £3 per morning! If you have not signed up you may call in on the day and see what sessions have availability. Check on the sign up sheet below for what is on and when.
Thanks to all the teachers who have given up their holidays to make this happen – so make the most of it and turn up!
A speaker from the RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People) visited the school recently to talk to S4 English pupils who have been tuding Edwin Morgan’s poem, ‘In the Snack-bar’.
Pupils listened attentively as Ken Reid described his every day life and answered questions that pupils had prepared.
Here is some feedback from pupils:
“I found the fact that Ken could still negotiate around and cook for himself interesting.”
“I found the visit from Ken interesting because it helped me understand the diffiiculties that blind people have to cope with every day.”
After the S4 class, Ken went on to talk to the first years at their assembly. An enlightening experience for all.
If any of our senior students have concerns over changing subjects or changing levels, given recent examination results, then Mrs Crawford is available to discuss this today and tomorrow from 12 – 2 pm.
