Cluster Dance Show

The school hosted the very first Cluster Dance Show on Friday evening.  The event was the culmination of the work done by the Sports Ambassadors and Dance Leaders with our cluster primary schools – delivering dance sessions and supporting extra-curricular clubs.

A big ‘thank you’ to pupils and staff from Springfield PS, Auchtermuchty PS, Falkland PS, Dairise PS, Castlehill PS and St Columba’s PS who participated in the show.  Also, the event was supported by community dance groups such as JML, Joyce Anderson Dance School and Diamonds Allstars.

A great night of dance which couldn’t have gone ahead without the support of all the volunteers.  Everyone did an incredible job!

Mental Health Awareness Week

The S2 Business Enrichment classes would like to take the opportunity to ‘thank’ everyone who took part in last week’s events to promote Mental Health Awareness Week.

Special ‘thanks’ go to all of the staff – Ms Pour, Mr Ajeda, Mrs Jeffrey, Ms McArthur, Mr Lambrou, Mr Cameron, Mr McCarron, Mr Robb, Dr Sugden and Ms Stuart – who took part in the “Soak a teacher” event.  Everyone was fantastic!

The event raised a magnificent £784.90 which will now be divided between SAMH and CAMHS, two mental health charities.
