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.

Sporting Success

We have had more sporting success recently with Grace McDermott (S2, Lewis) becoming Scottish Champion in her category in Acro Gymnastics. Well done and good luck to Grace and her partner Summer at the British in May.

It was also sporting success for Eva Bremner (S2, Lewis) who won several awards in Dance at the Scottish Freestyle championships. Eva took silver for solo, bronze for rock n’ roll, bronze for “boogey wooogey” and her team took overall 1st too. Congratulations to Eva!

 

Dance Showcase💃

A huge well done to our senior phase dancers who took part in this years showcase. The pupils performed dances that they have been working on over this academic year.

Well done to Miss McKay’s cheerleading squad and the S3 dancers for being our guest performs of the night. You were fantastic!

Thank you to all the parents, carers and staff who attended the event to support our young people.

Subway @ KPSS

Our Skills for Work class hosted a spectacular Subway style lunch for staff in the Food Technology department. Pupils prepared and served an array of fillings, toppings sides and drinks for staff to choose from and enjoy. This was a delightful occasion that allowed pupils to showcase their organisational, creativity and team working skills. During the event pupils took on different roles including greeting staff and interacting with customer, serving food, taking payment and ensuring the event ran smoothly. We are incredibly proud of how pupils interacted with staff, lead the event, created a lovely atmosphere and ensured the lunch was a success.

 

S3 Football Victory

Our S3 football team produced a stunning 9-2 victory over a formidable St Peter’s side in the Scottish Cup.

The game got off to a shaky start as St Peter’s took the lead within the first five minutes, putting us 1-0 down. To make matters worse, the weather was nothing short of dreadful, with torrential rain and strong winds creating challenging conditions for both teams. But if anything, the adversity only seemed to fuel our team’s determination.

By halftime, the team had turned the game on its head, and in the second half, they simply outclassed their opponents. The final whistle confirmed an emphatic 9-2 triumph, a scoreline that reflected not just our talent but also the unbreakable team spirit and hard work of every player on the pitch.

Some standout performances include Josh Irvine who was in sensational form scoring a stunning header at the back post. Colin Winkler was a constant threat in attack, weaving through defenders with skill and determination, while TJ Black was a rock in defence sweeping up any danger from the opposition.

This victory is a testament to the dedication and passion of our players. Congratulations to the entire team on—we couldn’t be prouder. Now, on to the next challenge! Let’s keep the momentum going and bring home the cup.

Well done, everyone!
