Millie Frew of Fernhill School did a beautiful job serenading us all at the Awards Ceremony earlier this week! Now we just need to convince her to come back and sing for us again next year!

So many awards: St Kentigerns for Best Newcomer, Fernhill School for Best Pursuer West, Royal Irvine Academy winning several, and too many other awards to name all individually in this post! We can't wait for next year's competition, who's coming back to claim the top prize?

@DHSCitizenship @DunfermlineHS Runners-Up by a 0.5% score difference. I really can't emphasize how brilliantly you all did! You have to come back next year, do 1% better, and get your name on the trophy ;)

@IRoyalSocial @IrvineRoyalAcad Congratulations to all of you. You really showed your spirit in this competition, well deserved awards, an awesome guitar solo, and the wonderful Miss Muir as our Blackrod for the evening really rounded off your many contributions nicely! See you again next year!

[The Mock Court Project @MockCourt]

@IRoyalSocial @IrvineRoyalAcad @iRoyal_Creative Brilliant performance! I'd never considered the double threat of a lawyer who can shred!

[The Mock Court Project @MockCourt]

@StKentAc @LoveWestLothian You were all absolutely wonderful. I really enjoyed watching your trial! We look forward to seeing you again next year, sadly you won't be eligible for Best Newcomer any more ;)

Permission has been granted for the Mace to be removed from the vault and transported to central Edinburgh ahead of tonight's Awards Ceremony. G4S were tasked with the movement with the usual Police escort. The Mace is only seen once or twice a year by the public.

Family and friends are more than welcome, feel free to drop us a message regarding numbers. We look forward to seeing as many of the participants and volunteers as possible. For any further details, please do DM.

The Seniors Mock Court Final was absolutely fantastic; both @DunfermlineHS and @edinburghacad really upped their game from their already impressive prior performances. We can't wait to find out the winner at next week's awards ceremony!

Our gown makers have been busy sourcing material, designing prototypes and taking measurements from our solicitors in preparation for P7s appearance in the @MockCourt project at the start of December.

Huge thanks to @AlexaArmstrong2 for all of your support 👘🩷

Another amazing night at the High Court with our P7 and P7/6 @MockCourt teams👩🏾‍⚖️.

Such a wonderful display which has been testament to the hard work and effort, both in school and at home by our outstanding pupils and supportive adults🌟👏🏻.
