S4 Scottish Parliament Trip

S4 Modern Studies pupils recently enjoyed a trip to the Scottish Parliament where they received a tour of the Parliament building. We were also fortunate enough to sit in on the Convenors Group as they questioned the First Minister as well as receive a Q&A session with MSPs Ken MacIntosh and Jackson Carlaw.

‘The Butler’

100 S2 pupils attended a screening of ‘The Butler’ on Tuesday 10th December. ‘The Butler’ tells the story of a black American who left life on a cotton plantation to become a butler for numerous US Presidents. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the film which ties in with our curriculum, looking at social inequalities in the USA.

Pupils gave an outstanding performance, successfully winning their prosecution case finding the defendant guilty.
