Hospitality Events
Our Hospitality classes hosted their first event this year with great success! Pupils launched a Deliveroo-style service opting for baked potatoes and creating the brand ‘Po-Tasty’. Pupils worked hard to plan and deliver this event showing great creativity and leadership skills to provide 26 staff lunches offering a range of homemade fillings from chilli’s to classic cheesy beans. Pupils enjoyed the process of delivering the lunches and collecting staff feedback, with ideas racing for their next event. Staff were delighted with their baked potatoes and amazed by the range of toppings and quality of food produced by pupils. The classes are now working hard to pull together their next event they hope you will be very fond-ue of!
S4 Boys Football
On Tuesday 7th October King’s Park travelled to Scotstoun Leisure Centre to take on St Thomas Aquinas. It was the first league match of this seasons campaign and it turned out to be a thriller. Two very committed teams determined to come away with the 3 points it was no surprise they had to settle for a share of the points.
King’s Park took a very early lead as Colin went through on the goalkeeper. With the last kick of the 1st half St Thomas scored to equalise. In the second half St Thomas raced into a 3 – 1 lead. With 89 minutes on the clock Ethan shifted the ball onto his right foot and unleashed a powerful shot from just inside the box that sailed towards the top corner. 3 – 2 down in the final minute of injury time the boys won a free kick outside the box. The whole team piled into the box hoping to get on the end of the cross and it was Tony who managed to get his boot on it to force the ball over the line. A dramatic late equaliser earning the team a well deserved point.

Sports Day 2025!
Our annual Sports Day took place last week under bright skies and an atmosphere full of excitement, determination, and school pride. Students from all year groups came together to represent their house teams in a series of athletic challenges, showing outstanding sportsmanship and enthusiasm throughout the event.
This year’s competition saw a close contest among our four house groups: Mull, Arran, Skye, and Lewis. Every race, jump, and throw added crucial points to the team totals, and the final standings reflected just how tight the competition was:
4th Place – Mull House: 498 points
3rd Place – Arran House: 500 points
2nd Place – Skye House: 501 points
1st Place – Lewis House: 523 points
Congratulations to Lewis House, who claimed the Sports Day trophy with an impressive total of 523 points! Their teamwork, determination, and consistent performance across the events earned them a well-deserved victory.
We would like to thank all the staff, student volunteers, and supporters who helped make the event a success.
