The UCAS group were delighted when former pupils Heather MacColl and Alex McFarlane visited the school to talk about their university experiences. Trainee Doctor Heather and Computer Graduate Alex enlightened pupils on the requirements for university. The group found the talk very interesting and informative. Staff and pupils at the school send congratulations to Heather and Alex, who are now engaged to be married.
Congratulations, as well, to S5 pupil Grant Conway who has been selected to be a member of a Scottish team of 50 pupils travelling, in February 2008, to the NASA Centre in Houston, USA for a 10 day experience at Space School.
The school’s annual Children In Need fundraising events were a great success. Pupils took part in a non-uniform day, a talent show and were asked to guess the number of sweeties were in a jar. Physics teacher Mr McPherson shaved off his much-loved beard and sixth year prefect Stephen Harvey waxed his legs. Well done to everyone who was involved!
