We wish all our pupils the very best of luck with their SQA results.

Details of support provided by Skills Development Scotland (SDS) are also available on our school website.
Mrs Milliken, Miss MacLeod, and Miss Hart will be in school on Thursday 7th August, from 9:30am to 12:30pm, to assist with any recourse discussions and offer advice and guidance.
Skills Development Scotland (SDS) would like to find out how you talk to your child about careers and your awareness and use of our services. Your feedback will help us to understand your needs and how we can improve our services.
In this survey, the term ‘Parent’ represents all types of parents and carers. This includes step-parents, guardians, other carers and parents. The term ‘Child’ represents the young person that you care for. We are particularly interested in finding out about your eldest secondary school age child’s experiences. Please answer the questions with this child in mind.

Beginning next week the Pupil Support team will be conducting the final round of option interviews with our current S2, S3, S4 and S5 pupils as they prepare for choosing their subject pathway for next session.
As you are aware this is a very important time of the year for all the pupils and parents/carers as it will not only determine courses and possible qualifications for next session but it also helps determine possible career pathways for all of our pupils future.
With this in mind and to help inform parents/carers and pupils we have provided an option information booklet and a preliminary option form for all year groups concerned in this process. The booklets detail course aims, structure and qualification levels on offer. The option form details the columns in which subjects are on offer.
It is important to highlight that courses will only run should there be enough pupils wanting to choose the course and if the necessary staff specialist is available to deliver at the time required.
We hope that you take the time to read over all of this information however should you wish clarification or additional information please contact your child’s Pupil Support Teacher in the first instance.
