On the morning of Friday, 15th June, we enjoyed a visit from author, Martin Stewart. As part of our drive to raise literacy levels in the Broad General Education phase of the school, we invited Martin to deliver sessions to our S3 pupils, which focussed on strategies to make their creative writing more powerful, as begin working towards achieving their National 5 qualification. S2 pupils were treated to a presentation from the author, where he inspired and enthused as he described his own personal journey of lifelong learning and developing skills for work. Our pupils were delighted to receive their very own copy of his book, “Riverkeep”, even waiting through interval to have them signed; a truly ringing endorsement of what a fantastic event this was!
