Do you like our Eco character designed by Jamie,one of our S4 pupils. 
Jamie is one of the Eco committee members and after discussion withthe group they came up with this idea.
This led to a model of the character being designed and the pupils from Loch Awe worked with Maureen our visual artist to create a wonderful model.
Jamie then volunteered to draw the character incorporating our school logo. He used some of the art tools from smartnotebook, tracing, drawing and colouring the logo. We can now use this logo in all our presentations.
We are all very proud of Jamie and his design.
Today students from classes Shetland and Yell presented their powerpoint presentations to their peers using the SMARTBoard.
This was was part of their SQA targets.
After each presentation the students were asked questions about their topic and then at the very end, the presentations were evaluated by the students.
Have a look at the photographs below which shows the students in action……. becoming successful learners, confident individuals and effective contributors.
Congratultions to all the pupils who took part in last night’s premier of “Fame JR” at Eastwood Theatre.
I’m sure you will agree that everyone was amazing and all the hard work definetly paid off.
We had young people who were nervous but keen to get on stage, and others who wanted to prove to themselves that they could do it, and they surely did with a standing ovation at the end.
Miss Antelmi (Director) and Mr Hay (Musical Director) would like to thank everyone for all their support during the weekly drama sessions, supporting our young people to become confident individuals and successful learners.

Today we welcomed two very special visitors to school to help us learn more from the Holocaust Memorial Day.
We were delighted when Carol Gillespie from Education Scotland told us that Arn Chorn Pond, a Cambodian genocide survivor, flautist and human rights activist and Dr Racelle Weiman, a Holocaust educator from USA, would be visiting the school to give first-hand accounts of what it is like to experience such atrocities and pupils then had the opportunity to ask questions to help them understand the impact of these significant historical events.
Our visitors toured the school and then were treated to a performance from Reels on Wheels and 2 wonderful songs from our senior choir. Thanks to Dylan and Gemma for their solo performances. We were then delighted to listen to Arn as he played a Cambodian lullaby for us on his flute.
This was followed by a question and answer session in class Orkney. We were so proud of our young people as they listened to the stories from Arn and Rachelle and asked lots of relevant questions.
This afternoon classes Orkney and Shetland participated in the GLOW TV event as Arn discussed more about his life in Cambodia and what he had to do to survive.
Look out for mAIRwaves FM next week as we will share some of our question and answer session with you.
Have a look at some of the photos from the event and read the lovely comments left in our visitors book from Arn and Racelle.
