BGE Graduation (S3) – Friday 17th June
Under Curriculum for Excellence schools are now structured in the following way. S1-S3, The Broad General Education (BGE) where pupils are developing the skills and abilities required for starting their courses leading to National Awards in S4. To give all our pupils the chance to have their successes in BGE celebrated we are holding a graduation ceremony where every pupil in third year will receive a certificate and a senior tie. As all S3 pupils are attending we do not have enough capacity for parents/carers so we plan to photograph each pupil with their certificate. Pupils will be dismissed after the assembly. This year S3 has been a fantastic year group and we wish them every success in the next stage of their education.
