Our Top 10 Tips for S1
1. Each night, check your bag for all your stuff- pencils, timetable, the right jotters!!
2. Do NOT go down the S6 stairs (they are rather protective of them) or the lift (unless you have a pass)
3. Use a plastic folder for your jotters. It keeps them together, neat and protected
4. Always remember your shoes, PE kit, blazer and tie!
5. Do NOT judge people on their beliefs or hobbies.
6. Get a wallet.
7. Get a locker!
8. If someone threatens you, walk away.

10. Always try your best! There are lots of opportunities and rewards available for pupils who do.
The 10 Pieces- BBC
The 10 Pieces event was an exciting experience for S1 to S3 who play musical instruments. The school orchestra club had been practising two music pieces for about two weeks before the performance. Those pieces were Ride of the Valkyries and Mambo from West Side Story. It was an experience to remember as we played with some of the members from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Ski Trip!
The ski trip to Italy 2016
Written by Izzy and Georgia
This year Wallace High School went on a Ski trip to Bormio in Italy. 13 pupils took part in this trip. We went away for a week, and flew to an airport in Italy then drove for 4 hours to Bormio. (Lovely as Bormio was, we were frozen!) We all enjoyed it, and think many more pupils should have the chance to next year to as well. Continue reading Ski Trip!
My S1 Experience
When I was in primary school I didn’t really think about High School until Primary 7 which was challenging but a fun year. In primary 7, the thought of high school was a lot to take in at first. We got a lot of information but it was honestly really fun and got you interested in the subjects and the School (It worked for me). I especially enjoyed music and art. When the teachers and sometimes pupils come to answer all your worries and it helps to solve your anxiety (Everyone got that feeling sadly…) by answering all your questions.

My S1 Experience
Hey Guys!
For you P7 soon to be S1, moving up to High School is a big thing and it seems really scary, but it really isn’t. On the induction days I was terrified that I wasn’t going to make any friends but I soon realised that if you are yourself around people soon you will find your crowd. I have an amazing group of friends that I treasure dearly and I would do anything for them. Continue reading My S1 Experience
The Induction Days
The induction days are two days during May that allow P7s a quick look into Wallace High School. Personally, I found the induction days a very good experience. The big thing I was worrying about was if I was going to have any friends in my new class, but other than that I was looking forward to these big days. Continue reading The Induction Days
