On Friday 18th January, over forty S5 students took part in a residential Study Weekend at Rowardennan Youth Hostel. The weekend was designed to support our 3+Higher candidates in preparing for their Prelim Exams.
Students benefitted from a wide range of small group tutorials over the course of the weekend. Subject specialists delivered sessions in the following areas- English, Maths, French, Geography, History, Modern Studies, Music, Drama, Physics, Biology and Health and Food Technology. Pupils also had the opportunity to participate in Study Skills workshops. Our students enjoyed a quality programme of intensive study in each of these areas.
Despite a very busy timetable, a good time was had by all. Our students were an absolute credit to themselves, their families and the school. Feedback from staff and pupils has been extremely positive and S5 are already asking when the next Study Weekend is. Planning has now begun for next year. For more photos click here.
