Senior Awards Ceremony

On Wednesday 19 September we celebrated the success of our learners at our annual Senior Awards Ceremony. Our Awards Ceremony gave us a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the many academic successes and wider achievements of our young people.

In terms of academic achievement, this was yet again a very successful year for our pupils. Yet again we enjoyed some of the best performances in North Lanarkshire, and indeed our learners attained well above national averages. 95% of pupils in S4 achieved at least 5 qualifications at National 4 or above, and 63% of our young people in S4 attained at least 5 national 5s. An outstanding 51 young people in S4 – almost 1/3 of the yeargroup – attained 7 passes at National 5. Pupils in S5 and S6 equally had much to celebrate on results day. Six young people attained 5 As at Higher which is a fantastic achievement. Just under half of our youngsters in S5 achieved 3 Highers, and almost half of our young people left S6 with five highers, which is our best ever performance. These are tremendous successes of which our young people and their families should be proud !

The senior pupils were also recognised for their wider achievements in categories such as participation in Creative Residency, and success in a range of areas including sport, music and drama. We also celebrated service to the school or local community and service to local charities. Well done to them all!
