Pupil of the Month

BGE PUPILS OF THE MONTH

Each class teacher within the English Department nominates S1, S2 and S3 pupils for Pupil of the Month based on different aspects of pupil achievement including behaviour, homework, classwork, attitude and endeavour. From those nominated, winners are chosen and their names are posted on the winners' board in the English Department corridor.
