S3 Attending Drugs Educational Theatre Performance (S Hamilton)
All S3 will attend a theatre performance on Tuesday 31 January. The play is about the real story of Daniel Spargo-Mabbs who tragically died after taking ecstasy for the first time at a party. While the play will be beneficial to most, the story of Dan’s death could trigger powerful emotions and trauma in some learners. Please speak to your guidance teacher or Mrs Hamilton if you would prefer not to attend.

Pupils with surnames A to L will attend during periods 1 & 2. You should register at tutor and then proceed to the Assembly Hall. You MUST sit in the allocated area for your class, so that we can take registers accurately.

Pupils with surnames M to Z will attend from 10:55 to 12:25. You should attend your period 3 class as normal, and your teacher will give you instructions about when and how you will leave.

DYW Padlet (Mrs Whyte)
This is now the time of year when employers start to look for apprentices/ employees.
