Today our S1 pupils took part in Safe Islander, an educational programme where participants learn life skills that will help to keep themselves and others safe in the future.  Small groups of pupils rotate around a number of workshops hosted by various agencies and businesses.

We've had so much happening this week as part of @OrkSciFest ! The festival got started with a Big Bang
last Thursday with an excellent session on the expansion of the universe for our N5 and H Physics students with Prof Martin Hendry from @UofGlasgow !

[kgsorkney @kgsorkney]

What a week! We have been really lucky to have had sessions about the expansion of the universe, CSI and how we can use green chemicals to help save the earth.  We have looked at sound, electricity, the periodic table and had our Molecule hunt.

This week we are delighted to have Iain Pretswell, Orkney MSYP (Member of Scottish Youth Parliament), come and give a presentation to pupils during their house assemblies about the options they have to voice their opinions about key issues in the local community!
