The Science department witnessed a huge series of changes this summer, with several much loved staff members leaving the school. These teachers not only contributed greatly to Science but also to the wider life of the school.

Long serving Chemistry teachers Mrs McKenzie and Mrs Frew retired after many years of outstanding service to Williamwood High School. They were joined by Mr Parker who gained a much deserved promoted post at another school.

In Biology, our American visitor Mr Sullivan returned to New Jersey after his successful year at Williamwood. The teacher who he replaced, Miss Tagore, also announced that she would be leaving the school. The Biology department would also like to thank temporary teacher Miss Smith for her superb work during 12-13.

Finally, the Physics department lost the popular Mr Boyce for a promoted post elsewhere. Like all of the teachers mentioned here, he will be sorely missed.

Fortunately, those staff members have been replaced with a new group of enthusiastic and talented teachers; Mr Allan, Dr Baillie and Miss McLaughlin (Chemistry); Miss McKenna and Ms. Shearer (Biology); and Mr McLaren (Physics). The department extends a warm welcome to all of our new teachers.
