S1 Fancy Dress afternoon party 31st October

Our senior School Captains are organising our annual S1 Fancy Dress party on Friday 31st October in the afternoon during periods 5 and 6. This time will be filled with games, dancing and competition.  There will be a prize for the best dressed too!

Any S1 pupil who would like to change out of their uniform into their fancy dress should do so during lunchtime. All pupils should wear their full uniform to school and during morning classes. All S1 pupils should report to their class at the start of period 5 as normal and they will be directed to the assembly hall at the right time. Arrangements will put in place for pupils who cannot attend the party for any reason.

The captains are looking forward to hosting this event so please listen out for further instruction.
