A group of our reward trip pupils enjoyed a fantastic day out at Topgolf this week as a recognition of their hard work, positive attitude, and commitment throughout the year. Students had great fun taking part in the golf games, showing plenty of enthusiasm and friendly competition. They also enjoyed a meal together, which was a highlight of the day. The trip was a great success, and it was wonderful to see the pupils representing the school so positively while celebrating their achievements.
As part of a celebration for International Women in Engineering Week, our S3 Physics and Chemistry classes had a visit today from Rachel from WSP who talking to us about engineering and Offshore Windfarms.
It was a very interesting and interactive presentation where they designed a Windfarm model that linked to the electricity grid. They also got to learn about engineering as a career and asked lots of great questions!
Thanks to Rachel for coming along 🙂Â
We are delighted to share that six pupils represented the school at the Greater Glasgow and Clyde Schools Ski Championships 2026 held at Glasgow Ski & Snowboard Centre. This marked a significant milestone, as it was the first time the school has entered a ski racing team—an exciting moment in our sporting history.
Our team of Yi Cheng He (Arran), Aniela Smith (Mull), Elodie Smith (Lewis), Reece O’Leary (Arran), Fergus Munro (Lewis) and Nevan Strain-Durnion (Arran) competed against 16 schools from across the region. Many of the other schools had experienced ski racers, while several of our pupils were taking part in ski racing for the very first time.
Despite this, the team showed excellent enthusiasm, determination and team spirit throughout the event. Their efforts contributed to a strong overall performance, with the school finishing 6th place in the final standings.
Beyond the results, the pupils were praised for their positive attitude and the enthusiastic support they gave each other and other competitors throughout the evening.
We are extremely proud of how they represented the school in this inaugural event.

Other notable mentions…
King’s Park got off to a fast start with quick baskets by Quinn Devine and Cole McLaughlan, setting the tempo for the game. The team were buoyed by Nifemi Ayorinde’s big night rebounding, Jeantain Oyono’s quick hands on defence, and Jack Dennis on the fast break. A memorable debut performance for Finlay Harper saw him become a natural leader of the team. Big buckets from Keith Ncube and Charlie Hampton late on secured the win for Kings Park 31-28.

A massive congratulations to our S3 YPI finalists for winning ÂŁ3000 for Crossbasket House! These 4 pupils have perfectly demonstrated and embodied King’s Park’s values of KARE. They have also shown courage, perseverance, creativity, and teamwork by working with Crossbasket House charity and engaging with independent research about this charity. This group presented beautifully in front of an entire year group and a judging panel, with the aim of persuading everyone that Crossbasket house is a great charity deserving of the ÂŁ3000 YPI grant.
On behalf of the King’s park staff we want to say congrats to this group and all of our other finalists – you should all be incredibly proud of yourselves. Even if your group did not win the grant, you have successfully increased visibility for that charity and have become advocates within your local community. Additionally, a huge thank you to Crossbasket House, Talbot Association, Castlemilk Youth Complex, and Action for Children for taking part in YPI and inspiring the young people within our community!
We are delighted to share with you our first VLOG of 2026!Â
