Dear colleagues,

Thanks everyone for your hard work, commitment and care in supporting our senior pupils to prepare for their exams.  I know many will be back in for more support and revision throughout the study leave.  Please reinforce the message from Phil that pupils must sign-in and wear uniform when they are in the school.

Thanks also to all involved in the S6 Final Countdown in the morning and graduation on Thursday evening last week.  It was the first in-person graduation that we have had since 2019 and it was a lovely event. Our S6 were a credit to themselves and us on Thursday and I am sad to see them go.  The wide range of university, college courses, apprenticeships and gap years referred to was impressive.  I received much positive feedback and thanks from parents that reflects the work of the school in its entirety.  It is great to feel that we make a difference - thank you.

The majority of pupils will be sitting SQA exams in the Games Hall.  This helps with logistics and means that we need to use fewer classrooms for exams with large numbers. Thanks to the PE team for reorganising and accommodating this - it is much appreciated by all involved.

We have an exciting week of sports finals. Our S2 pupils pupils will be competing in the regional indoor Sportshall finals on Tuesday. On the same day our S1/2 rugby boys and U14 girls will be competing in the Glasgow Warriors final at Scotstound.  Well done and good luck to all involved.

Our final inservice day of the year is on Friday.  The programme is below for your reference.  We will provide cakes courtesy of Hilary on Friday for everyone.

Team meetings are scheduled on the collegiate calendar for this week.  Please ensure that you are reviewing TIP and SIP work to date and updating the evaluation of work in our plans.

Have a great week.

Elaine
