PARENTS’ EVENING

Pupils in the second year Scottish FA Performance school of football and their parents recently attended a meeting to review the trip to the world famous Benfica Football Academy in Portugal.   Following a welcome from the Rector Mr Hannan, the participants viewed a video taken of the trip and then heard from Ms Ruth Anderson, Depute in charge of second year of the work the group of pupils had undertaken in school to reflect upon the experience and set targets.   This was then followed by excellent inputs from four pupils Leon McCann, Jon McCracken, Marco McGillivray and Lewis Gamble who gave a very positive view of their experience of the trip in a highly professional manner.   Scottish FA coach Gordon Craig then outlined various lessons learned from the trip emphasising how impressed the Benfica Academy coaches had been of the skill of the Scottish pupils.   Mr Derek Gamble then delivered a very thoughtful vote of thanks to all the staff who had accompanied the party on what was a truly remarkable experience.
