Here are our S1-S3 Pupils of the Month for September. Each will receive a praise postcard (in the post as we tweet!) and a silver house point. They will also be on display in the corridor so that we can use them as the shining examples they are.

Well done to all!

Is there a secondary pupil out there who is waiting for their results next Tuesday and would be interested in writing about their hopes and fears? If so, drop me a line - thank you. [email protected]

Some excellent poems, word portraits and name plates in from our new S1s today! Keep them coming tomorrow. Best way is to download the Powerpoint in the English folder (so that you can see the video demonstration) and then send a response to the English folder :)
