Well done to all 17 pupils on completing their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition on Saturday. The S3 pupils faced challenging weather conditions over the two days, but managed to complete their route – from Scotlandwell to Craigmead and back – and overnight camp successfully.
We’d like to thank the staff and the Assessor for supporting the pupils throughout the expedition.
We are pleased to announce that our pupils took a number of placings in last week’s Waid Academy Dance Competition. With over 160 pupils representing nine high schools, the standard of the dancing was outstanding.
Pupils placed in the competition include:
1st, S2 Duo/Trio Category – Emma Cuthbertson and Phoenix Brereton
2nd, S2 Duo/Trio Category – Clara Anderson and Amy Gourley
3rd, S2 Group Category – Eahba Adair-Brown, Josefina Navarro, Chloe Liddle and Aimee Duncan
2nd, S3 Duo/Trio Category – Lily Kerek and Caley Speight
Well done to everyone who took part in this highly competitive event.
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!
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.

Well done to all of our pupils who, alongside pupils from Madras College, went along as volunteers to support the Fife Active Schools and Triathlon Scotland event this week.
You all did your schools proud at the event! Another great opportunity for developing skills for life.
