Prize-Giving 2015

Leave a comment

At the end of the summer term, pupils, staff, parents and guests gathered at Sgoil a’ Bhac for the annual prize-giving ceremony and celebration of achievement.

We had an excellent attendance of parents and our special guests included Mr Fred Wildridge who presented this year’s prizes; Calum Macdonald, Parent Council Chairperson; our local councillor, Donald Crichton; Rev. Calum Iain Macleod and student David Macdonald.

We were delighted to be joined by members of  the Sgoil a’ Bhac Memories Book Committee, who were in attendance for the first presentation of a trophy in their name.  The prize, was awarded for excellence in local studies of the Back district. (history, geography or culture)  As well as a trophy, the winner received a financial prize.

Children were awarded prizes for sports, citizenship, leadership and academic achievement. In addition, this year saw the introduction of  new Achievement Prizes for each Gaelic and English year-group sponsored by our Parent Council.

The audience were entertained by an amazing whole-school performance of ‘Caledonia’  and our folk group and psalm precenting group also performed excellently. The ceremony concluded with the awarding of Dux of the School for 2015.

Easter Assembly 2015

Leave a comment

Following this morning’s eclipse, the whole school went to Back Free Church for a special early Easter Assembly. The service, led by Rev Macleod, was excellent and we’d like to say a huge thanks to Back Free Church for their welcoming hospitality and the gift of Fairtrade Easter eggs and a leaflet containing the Easter story. We hope that the parents, families and friends who joined us enjoyed the service.

EuroQuiz 2015

Leave a comment

A team of P6 pupils from Sgoil a’ Bhac were competing today in the Western Isles heat of the annual EuroQuiz competition. This year, eight teams from across Lewis, Harris and the Uists went head-to-head in the quiz that tests their knowledge of European geography, culture, history and language as well as the European Union.

The Sgoil a’ Bhac team did superbly well again this year, performing strongly in all the rounds. They finished in second place, just a few points behind Sgoil an Rubha. As the top two teams, they went head-to-head in the final, which Sgoil an Rubha went on to win 10-5.

Congratulations to the team from Sgoil an Rubha! This was the second year in a row that we’ve finished as runners-up in the competition.
