International Women’s Day in French!

The young people were able to further develop their vocabulary through using their dictionary skills before working collaboratively to research a woman who they found to be inspiring and who has had an impact on society.
Adorable Ducklings update
Since Wednesday we have been excitedly welcoming new ducklings in to the Ness Room. We have them for the next 7 days before they go back to the big wide world.
They have been named Cole, Sonny, Dwayne and Custard. We are eagerly awaiting the last duckling. It was great fun putting them in the water for their first swim.
Keep an eye out for more updates.

Three senior Computing Science pupils recently visited Morgan Stanley as part of Apprenticeship Week, gaining valuable insight into career opportunities in finance, business and technology.
Their visit included a tour of the offices, an overview of Morgan Stanley’s Graduate Apprenticeships, and a networking event with university representatives. They also participated in speed interviews with current apprentices, enhancing their interview skills and learning about apprenticeship experiences firsthand.

Horse Riding at Linn Park Equestrian Centre
A group of our young people from S1-3 have had an incredible time developing their riding skills at Linn Park Equestrian Centre over the past few weeks.
For some, this was a fantastic opportunity to step out of their comfort zone and try something completely new. For others, it was a chance to build their confidence and refine their independent riding abilities.
No matter their starting point, every participant showed dedication, enthusiasm, and a strong commitment to improving their skills—all while having plenty of fun along the way!
A huge well done to everyone who took part!

The event was a fantastic showcase of skill, teamwork, and determination, with schools from across the city competing at a high level. Our players gave it their all, demonstrating resilience and sportsmanship throughout the tournament.
A special congratulations goes to our senior girls’ team, who put on an outstanding performance in the final against Hillpark Secondary.
