S5 LEARNERS MOVING TO S6

Those young people who have displayed a commitment to education in their fifth year are welcome to return for a sixth year. This can be excellent preparation for future academic study and also gives an opportunity to prepare for the world beyond school. All learners in S6 will be provided with opportunities to enhance and further develop their academic qualifications and involve themselves in the wider life of the school. We encourage our young people to become involved with other activities such as music groups, school shows, sports teams, Duke of Edinburgh and other events as long as these do not affect their studies. Young people who return to S6 will be encouraged to become S6 Leaders and will be expected to carry out certain whole school duties, become ambassadors for the school and act as positive role models to more junior year groups.

You will take either four subjects or three if they are all Advanced Highers (SCQF 7).
