Senior Prom

Last Wednesday we said farewell to our S6 learners as they embark on the next stage of their lives.  Prom 2019 was celebrated in style at Balbirnie House Hotel, where staff and pupils enjoyed a fabulous meal and danced the night away to music by DJ Paul Clark of Revolution Discos.

We were so proud of all our young people, especially when the hotel’s manager congratulated the staff on the conduct of our pupils.

We would like to thank all of the staff who supported the event, as without their help this evening would not run.  We must also thank Paul from Revolution Discos for keeping the dance floor full all night and Style-a-Chair who very generously gave us a great deal on the chair covers.

Finally, we would like to send our pupils off with our very best wishes for the future.  We hope you’ll come back and visit us in years to come!

“Darien” starts tonight!

We would like to send our ‘best wishes’ to the cast, crew and staff for the opening night of “Darien”.

‘Darien: The Commonplace Book of Murdo MacFarlane’ is opening tonight (Thursday) at the beautiful Byre Theatre, St Andrews.  The show will run until Saturday night, so grab tickets while you still can. The cast and crew have spent hours in the theatre this week preparing for our run of performances and the production is looking/sounding amazing.

Get you ticket!

Please come along and support the pupils for what will be a great night out for all the family.  We’ve even got an exclusive preview of the opening number, ‘Welcome to the Darien’.  Definitely not a show to miss!
