In Science we have chosen to celebrate article 13. We are asking pupils and staff to share their opinion on key issues!!

Look out for the 10 QR codes dotted around the Science corridor!

Some of our S1s have been learning about fireworks. Perfect chance to do the flame test and find out about different colours in a firework! 🎇🎆

Breaking news!! We could not be prouder to share our final total for @macmillancancer for this year. £51,500.83. Over £450,000 in 20 years! However, this is nothing in comparison to the number of smiles brought to those who need them most not to mention memories for pupils 💚

[Alva Academy @AlvaAcademy]

It’s starting to look a lot like Macmillan Day!!!!!!!!!! Not quite the same without our wonderful parents and public but we will still raise a huge amount by having fun @macmillancancer 💚💚💚
