Unfortunately due to the ongoing current Covid -19 restrictions in school we didn’t have the opportunity this term to host and celebrate the successes of our pupils along with parents/guardians at our traditional evening awards ceremony.

However as we felt it was very important to celebrate our pupil’s achievements we held a brief event with last sessions S4, S5 , S6 pupils during the school day on Thursday. At this time the Head Teacher presented our award winners with their certificates recognising academic excellence in their subjects.

Hopefully by now the young people have shared with you the news of their award. However to further highlight their achievements we have put together a short clip to reinforce the positive message from their success.

Due to current Covid restrictions and the ongoing monitoring of pupil traffic within the school it is important that pupils follow the times given in the table below when accessing their lockers. As with entry and exit from class the times are staggered by five minutes to allow pupils to deposit/collect from their locker before exiting the corridors and stairwells prior to the next bell sounding for the following year groups.

In summary pupils will have an additional 5 minutes when leaving class to access their lockers. They should not return to their locker until the next 5-minute window is available.

This will help to ensure that health and safety in the corridors is maintained and that year group bubble groups remain intact.

 

Could all pupils who are no longer studying Art & Design in S3/4/5 please return the Art Packs that were issued to them during last session.

We are aware that a lot of these will have been used with varying frequency, but returning them will allow us to ensure that our new S1 students can be given similar opportunities moving forward.

The Art Packs can be returned to any teacher in Art & Design.

DYW is planning another virtual Big Parents’ Event during 2021 and would appreciate if parents and/or carers could kindly complete the short survey attached to the link below to help gather some feedback to shape the event. The survey will close on the 4th June 2021.
