STEM TRIP

Miss Oyler took a team of S2 pupils to a Royal Academy of Engineers STEM competition at All Saints High School in Glasgow. They completed against other schools in various Mars themed challenges including designing and building a transmitter tower, and making a prototype space rock collector, as well as learning about engineering careers. They brought home two trophies for the best space rock collector and for the best budgeting! Well done!

 S1 GEOGRAPHY TRIP

The Social Subjects faculty enjoyed a Geography trip on the Fife Coastal Path walking from Crail to Anstruther. For the most part we had glorious sunshine and only a short light shower on the walk. Pupils felt challenged on the walk but it was worth it in the end for a visit to the Anstruther Fish Bar.

Everyone was a credit to themselves and the school. See the video below:
