My eldest son, who by nature is extremely quiet and when he arrived in S1 he had little self confidence and belief in himself – He has been in a position to take advantage of the the tremendous opportunities available to him to help him develop his own self esteem. Over the years he has had the opportunity to be a Volunteer at the highly successful sports camps, allowing him to recently achieve over 100 hours of Volunteering and has completed ‘The Intermediate Ascent’ within the Saltire awards programme. This has also enabled him to take part in Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme organised within the school. The Music department has provided a wealth of opportunities allowing him to take part in an exceptional standard of performances within school, allowing him to develop his own confidence in performing to a variety of audiences. He is now a very different young person to the one who arrived 31/2 years ago – all credit is due to the teachers who work tirelessly to ensure these opportunities happen.

 

My son, who would take part in all sporting activities, has had the opportunity to ‘live his dream’ being a member of the Football team and taking part in Cycling and Athletic competitions. He attends many of the after school clubs, holiday camps and Twilight Sports camps that are available to the children. This allows him to further develop his skills and try out new sports – skiing, table tennis, basketball, king-ball, dodge-ball, mat ball etc. School outings, trips to Premiership football games and Skiing in France make these sporting dreams a reality! These Sport clubs help develop new friendships and a real team spirit within the children.

 

Fabulous job – keep up the good work – your school provides an extension to my sons’ home.

 

Thanking you
