History has been made by the S1/2 Rugby team as this is the first time Doon Academy has been represented in an official rugby tournament. The tournament had been organised at the Maress in Irvine. The team should be very proud of their achievement as they won one game, drew one and lost one. Well done boys and we look forward to your ever increasing confidence and skill level.
At the World Federation of Burns Club Ayrshire Schools’ competition Lesley Baird in S2 gained 1st place in S1/2 singing and Marie Reid gained 3rd place in S1/2 recitation. Kyle McCormick gained a Certificate of Achievement. Well done and congratulations to all the competitors.
