You're not all lucky enough to be able to focus on school right now, but that doesn't mean there isn't still some great work going on. We've created this Celebration Wall to recognise the efforts of those of you who are going over and above.
If school work is proving too much for you right now, don't worry. You know where we are when you're ready to dive back in.
Her essay on life in lockdown was superb. She captured the mood and atmosphere of this challenging time, and wrote beautifully about her own emotional response in a genuinely moving way. A mature piece of writing.
Mrs. McNicholl

Mr. Crosbie
