The Burns Celebration was hosted by our wonderful school Captains, Josh McColl and Morgan Clarke.
The Poetry Competition winners were:
First Place: Abby Docherty (S2) ‘Red Red Rose’
Second Place: Abigail Gill (S1) Own composition ‘Magic on the Stars’
Third Place: Aidan Braidwood and Jamie McLelland (S1) ‘Graffiti’

We also heard a witty, pitch-perfect ‘Toast to the Lassies’ from Kyle McHutcheson (S6) and an excellent, sophisticated ‘Reply’ from Hannah McKenzie.

Miss MacCallum’s S1 Drama Club treated us to a fantastic performance of ‘Tam O’Shanter’. Miss Duncan’s S1 Dance Team wowed the audience with their modern Scottish dance. Mia Beckett sang a beautiful ‘Ye Banks and Braes’ and our senior singers led the audience in a rousing ‘Auld Lang Syne’. We were also delighted to be joined by our P7 cluster primaries who gave us an insight into the life of Burns and performed ‘Wee Reid Ridin Hood’, the Scots version of Roald Dahl’s ‘Revolting Rhyme’.

A big thank you to everyone who helped with the event and to the families and friends who came along to support our talented youngsters!

A huge thank you, as always, to our colleagues in Home Economics, PE, Drama and Music for their assistance on the night and rehearsals in the run up to the night. Thank you to all our colleagues for supporting the night!
