What an amazing Alva Prizegiving! Congrats to all the pupils on their outstanding achievements. It was especially special to recognise the hard work of our Geographers Emma, Eilidh, Euan, Finlay and Bailey.

We did it! 🎉After the official launch of Fairtrade Alva we have been officially recognised as a FairAware school! Big thanks to our lovely Fairtrade members who volunteer their time and our new S2 who completed outstanding learning challenges. It was lovely to celebrate today!

5C made me laugh today by choosing geography themed names for our migration Kahoot. Biosphere is clearly still fresh in their brain! 🌍
