S5/6 artists have been working hard this week on their artwork:

Here are some completed drawings:

A successful and fairly amusing afternoon of golf was had by S3-S6 pupils this afternoon:

S3 historians were given statements that provoke discussion and debate. They had to choose a way of presenting a keynote on this- and did really well!



Aimee presented on 'history teaches us that man's desire for 'more' is his greatest asset- and his greatest flaw.'

Lyle presented on 'it is possible to study the history of any civilisation through the study of the stomach contents of its corpses. ' !!

Johnny presented on 'democracy and dictatorships both fail. Dictatorship is the lesser of two evils.'

Brett spoke on 'war is inevitable and necessary.'

A big well done to the higher History class who have grappled with some complicated themes this term and are now well on the way to passing their first unit.

The Thinkers!

Kerr completed this coloured pencil drawing today - well done!

Here are some pictures of what the senior school artists have been working on:

As part of our Anti Bullying Week we had a Friendship Day today. At interval, secondary pupils took part in ice breaker games and had the chance to chat to pupils in other classes and groups. We had fun and even got the chance to buy one another cakes! A successful day!
