S1-4 pupils represented the school extremely well at the recent Inter-Schools Annual Football and Netball Tournament.  The footballers, playing some fantastic football finished in third position overall.  And the netballers who entered two teams into their competition finished in a very respectable fifth and sixth place.  A Big well done to all players for displaying determined, positive attitude throughout the day, and for being great sportsmen.  Also thank you to Karla for being our roaming reporter and photographer!

Tom Macintyre brought some representatives Interfaith Scotland to introduce people from the Jewish and Islamic community who give a presentation to P4 to S4 pupils on their faith.  After the presentations, pupils had the opportunity to ask questions and investigate religious clothing and articles.
