We are delighted to have a new team of S3-S6 SCQF Pupil Ambassadors in place for this session. 4 of our new SCQF Ambassadors went along to a training and networking event at St Paul’s High School, a fellow SCQF Gold school, to hear about some of the great work happening in other SCQF schools and get a chance to speak to other Ambassadors.
We are excited to see what our new team can do to help promote the SCQF framework with our young people, staff and parents/carers this session!

Last week, Mr Tennant’s S2 Wellbeing Group got creative with a Halloween activity by carving pumpkins for the school courtyard.
The pupils worked together to design and carve a variety of spooky and fun faces, bringing a festive autumn atmosphere to the heart of the school. 🎃
We’re delighted to share some fantastic news about a group of our talented young people who recently took part in auditions with MTP for a national EE advertising campaign promoting safer mobile phone use for young people.
After initial auditions back in June, an incredible 18 pupils were recalled for second and third auditions — and many of them can now be spotted in the final advert!
Our amazing pupils involved were:
C McLaughlan, N Ayordine, J Olatunji, K Bader, M Idriss, M Haider, J McHugh, I McHugh, L Brennan, A Smith, I Cheung, R Stanbridge, M Afeez, M Williamson, A Coburn, C Byrne, A Milliken, A Kyle, T Christie, E Fitzgerald, M Gracie and S Barrie.
A special shout-out goes to L Brennan, who was a natural on camera and one of the standout stars of the advert! He’s absolutely delighted and has even caught the attention of a talent agency following his performance.
A huge well done to all of our pupils who took part and represented King’s Park so brilliantly. We’re so proud of your confidence, creativity and professionalism throughout this experience.
Break a leg, and who knows where this could lead next!
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.
