Welcome Back (Mr Allan)
Very best wishes for the term ahead. It’s busy week with House Assemblies as follows;
Tuesday: CARLYLE
Wednesday: OSWALD
Thursday: ADAM SMITH
PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENT PATTERN FOR HOUSE ASSEMBLIES THIS WEEK.
These assemblies are extended as they are led by the S6 Leavers form each House. The bell for period 1 will go at 9.05am rather than 8.55am.
On Friday we have a Yeargroup assembly for all S4-6 to cover arrangements for the SQA exams which start next week. All S4-6 should register first then go to the Assembly Hall. The SQA Assembly, led by Mrs Davidson, should last until about 9.20am.
As of next week, everyone should be aware of the need for quiet around the building, especially near the Assembly Hall. The SQA exams take place and those sitting exams will not want to be disturbed. S4-6 will be on “Study Leave” until Thursday 2 June and only in school for an exam.
