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.

The Ski Club begins tomorrow evening at Kings Park Secondary. The following pupils will be taking part and will travel to Bearsden Snowsports Club for ski lessons:

• Matthew Munro – S1
• Connor Rafferty – S1
• Kirsty Wright – S1
• Stacey Barrie – S2
• Lauren Canning – S2
• Ayla Conway – S2
• Jessica Downs – S2
• Milly Grant – S2
• Mia O’Donoghue – S2
• Dorota Wlusek – S2

Pupils should get dressed in PE at the end of the school day. Bring appropriate clothing for the weather. Long-sleeved tops and trousers should be worn, and all pupils must bring gloves for use on the slope.

If you have any questions about the Ski Club, please contact Beth Ferguson or David Jack.

Although numbers were limited to 10 for this initial session, we are hoping to run another block later in the year to allow all pupils an opportunity to ski before the Italy trip.

We are delighted to announce an exciting opportunity for a select group of pupils from King’s Park Secondary School to take part in the Greater Glasgow & Clyde Schools Ski Race Competition. This fantastic event will take place on Friday 5th June 2026 at Glasgow Ski Centre, Bellahouston Park.

This competition brings together young skiers from across the Glasgow area, offering pupils the chance to represent KPSS in a fun, supportive, and competitive environment while further developing their skiing skills.

Event Overview
Participants will compete as individuals while also earning points for King’s Park Secondary School. The competition format includes:

• Two timed runs on a Slalom course
• Two timed runs on a Giant Slalom (GS) course
• Final results based on the best run from each discipline combined

Who Can Take Part?
This event is open to confident skiers who are Level 4 or above and capable of skiing parallel and independently down the main slope.

Parents and carers are very welcome to attend and support our young people on the evening. If transport arrangements are an issue, please get in touch with the school and we will do our best to assist.

This is a wonderful opportunity for pupils to challenge themselves, represent the school with pride, and enjoy an exciting sporting experience.

See Mrs Ferguson if you would like to take part, if you have any questions or would like further information.

We look forward to seeing our pupils hit the slopes and represent KPSS! And hopefully, this could mark just the beginning of our KP Ski Race Team!
