LINE DANCING
On Wednesday 19th December the school hosted its annual inter-house line dancing competition in the assembly hall. The event was fiercely contested, with pupils from each house group having practised their moves in the weeks leading up to the dance-off. However, on the day it was Rannoch house who impressed the judges, Mr Paterson, Mr Campbell, Miss Galloway, and Ms O’Donovan, the most with their line dancing prowess. Morven house were awarded second place, Lorne third place, and Atholl fourth place. Well done to all pupils who took part in the very successful event.
CHRISTMAS DANCE
The school Christmas dance took place on Tuesday 18th December with pupils from S1-6 thoroughly enjoying themselves as they danced the night away and got into the Christmas spirit.
MALAWI CHRISTMAS DOORS
In the run up to Christmas staff were asked to donate £5 to the Malawi fundraising project and get creative by designing and decorating their room door. Five pupil judges individually scored each door out of a total of 30 points (maximum of 10 points for each of creativity, originality and Christmas Spirit). All five judges’ scores were then added together with Mrs Reilly, classroom teacher of Performing Arts, announced as the deserving winner. Honorable mention should go to Ms Donnelly and Mrs Hunter in second and third place respectively.
ST ANDREW’S HOSPICE
To support St Andrew’s Hospice the school has delivered a range of fundraising activities throughout the year, including a staff book swap, a Christmas tree where staff could post their season’s greetings in lieu of sending Christmas cards and a sale of items at lunch time in the foyer which was run by senior pupils. All proceeds raised were sent onto St. Andrew’s Hospice to support their fantastic work.
CHRISTMAS BOXES
Fundraising for Malawi was recently combined with helping out the local community as pupils and staff were asked to donate tins and non-perishable goods which were to be used in Christmas hampers gifted to local residents. Pupils and staff were also invited to wear their Christmas jumper on Friday 14th December with all money donated going towards the Malawi project fund.
