3rd May 2007

This week a group of S3 pupils with 4 members of staff are taking part in Doon Academy’s Leadership Academy in Dalguise. The Academy is being led by some of our S3 pupils who recently graduated from the Columba 1400 Leadership Academy in Skye. Mr McCrorie, Mr Taylor and Mrs McLay are assisting the leaders. We hope they all had their high factor sun cream on as the sun has shone all week for them! Look out for the tanned faces returning to school next week.
