Round Square House

Built in the 17th century by Sir Robert Gordon as an estate square, it has a circular design & hence it became called the paradox of Round Square.

On the first night of our house exped we made our way to Loch an Eilein for a wide game around the loch. A solid performance from our robbers where all but 1 made it around the loch without being detected 👮‍♂️🥷

Great fun this weekend in the company of our year 9’s and 10’s on the Round Square House Exped to Loch Insch. The students enjoying their time on the water with windsurfing and sailing 🏄‍♂️🚣

Well done to Rudolf (RS) and Calum (B) for their first season in senior rugby. It was the last competitive action of the season for them at Moray RFC with a 10s tournament over in Banff. A big jump up to adult Rugby this year - great effort.

Some of our students (and staff) taking part in today’s interhouse x-country. Great to see so many taking the opportunity to represent the house as well as enjoying some meaningful exercise on a Monday afternoon

A pre x-country hype to get ready for an interhouse in the sun ☀️

I was proud of these guys yesterday. Played their part at a multi agency exercise. And then supported front line colleagues at a large grass fire. All the crews in attendance said how well they did and how professional they were. @andybuchan_ @willie4268 @fire_scot @gordonstoun
