Senior Options Booklet

This year’s senior options booklet, ‘The Way Ahead’ is now available for you to view here.

The booklet will provide a comprehensive guide for you and your child to reference over the coming weeks.

The booklet details courses that will be available for S5 and S6 pupils in the next academic year here in Mearns Castle as well as information about the extensive vocational programme that we run in conjunction with our partner colleges. We would encourage pupils to read through the booklet prior to their options interviews and we again extend the invitation for parents to join us at the forthcoming Options Evening here in the School at 7.00pm.
