School Magazine
Mr McGarry and Mr Phillips are going to start a Science and Technology school magazine.
This will be a great opportunity to write articles on areas of Science and Technology that you are interested in. You can decide on how it looks and on the articles you wish to add. You could carry out interviews, use questionnaires and make the magazine a really rewarding experience.
The magazine will be published three times a year and will hopefully be entered into the Bill Bryson Award for Science and Technology.
If you are interested speak with Mr McGarry or Mr Phillips.
Peru 2012
Mearns Castle pupils took part in a World Challenge expedition to Peru during the summer. This album of photographs are a select few from the trip which followed 2 years of fundraising by the group. Pupils were involved in numerous activities and saw many spectacular sights throughout their time in South America.
