On Thursday 25th April the school celebrated its sixth-year leavers’ with a special celebration in the school library. Head Teacher Mrs. Rooney opened the event with an uplifting speech which encouraged the departing pupils to go out into the world and strive to be the best possible version of themselves despite the inevitable setbacks life may throw at them. School Captains, Katie Kennedy and Zafar Khan delivered the valedictory speech before Depute Head Teacher for Upper School Ms. Anderson presented a humorous analysis of each graduating pupil alongside their P7 transition photograph which provoked much laughter. Teacher of Music Mr Crawford then played his ‘Remember the Good Old Days’ slideshow which documented, through photographs, the journey the pupils had taken from S1-S6. Pupils Scott Allan and Alistair Peacock closed the assembly with a vote of thanks to the Senior Management team, school office staff, English teacher Mrs. Swinburne, and Biology Teacher Miss. Watson for helping to organise the event. Good luck to all our graduating pupils for their future endeavours.
