Curricular Choice Evening

We were delighted to welcome our parents/carers of S2, S4 and S5 pupils to our Curricular Choice Evening on Wednesday 17th January to learn about Choosing for Success and to gather more information and support to achieve a positive destination. Two presentations on options were delivered to junior and senior pupils and parents/carers as well as subject specialists on hand to answer any questions.  All information shared on the evening can be found here.

The first Rights Respecting School group meeting of the year is on Friday 15th Sept at 12:40pm in ICT 10 (in the Social Subjects corridor).

Miss Mauchlen and Miss Mowat are looking forward to welcoming previous and new members for an exciting year ahead.

The School Chess Tournament: A Thrilling Event!

It started earlier than usual on December 22nd, and a ton of students participated. A total of 30 students took part in the tournament, while another 20 came to support and watch the exciting event.

The tournament was greatly put together by Abhi and the chess committee, who ensured that everything ran smoothly. Two separate rooms were set up, with one room having its full purpose just for the tournament itself, which was silent and intense, and the other room was for casual games and practice, where students could chat and relax.

The atmosphere was electric, with excitement and tension in the air as the competitors studied their Swiss, Ruy Lopez, and Queen’s Gambit openings. Every move was critical, and the students had to think several steps ahead to out think their opponents.

The school had just purchased new wooden chess sets, which made the games look super fancy. They also had new chess clocks that added a professional type aspect to the matches.

Overall, the school chess tournament is ongoing, and the event has been a massive success so far, with many students showcasing their skills and love for the game. It has brought the school community together and encouraged a sense of ambition and fun, and we can’t wait to see who will come out on top!
