This 
is a picture of our senior volunteers receiving their Saltire Awards for volunteering at Summer School as Youth Leaders.
The senior pupils gave up their own time to come and act as youth leaders to our new S1 pupils who attended the week long summer school. The Seniors helped run activities such as team games, sports, arts and crafts, cooking and attended Fordell Firs out door centre where they encouraged the younger pupils to try new activities such as climbing, archery, 3g King swing and an adventure course. The volunteers developed skills in youth work and leadership throughout the week.
A great time was had by all and the week would not have been possible without the senior volunteers.

The Pupil Council has recently been involved in initial discussions of the vision and values of the school. What is most clear already is that pupil involvement is key if they are to have ownership of the values of their school. To this end, over the next two months the Pupil Council will ensure ALL pupils have the opportunity to shape these values through a series of group tasks in Homeroom. Parents and staff will also be invited to participate. As a school community, we look forward to undertaking this important task and to relaunching our revised vision and values in due course.
