GoSEStran is a new app designed as a one-stop-shop to make travel around East Lothian simpler.
Go ahead and download it off Google Play and Apple App Store now to give it a go!
The app allows you to plan your door-to-door journey around East Lothian (and beyond!) and gives you the various sustainable travel choices available, showing how long each one takes, the likely cost, and even the predicted CO2 emissions. The project is aiming to contribute to the research and knowledge about how to improve the integration and reliability of transport, especially in rural areas.

UPDATE: Due to circumstances outwith our control, unfortunately S3, S4 and Meadowpark students will now have their photographs taken on a different date. Registration teachers have an updated outline for the day. Apologies for this.
On Wednesday 9 November 2022 we welcome Tempest Photography to the school to take individual formal school photographs which will be available to order by parents/carers. Since School Photographs haven't been taken for several years, this year the whole school will have their individual photographs taken. This is also an opportunity for us to update school records with a recent photograph.
As always, full uniform is expected on the day.
Registration teachers will notify students on exact timings at the beginning of the week. All members of staff have a record of when these photographs will be taken and will release registration classes at the appropriate times.
All individual photographs will be taken in the School Library.
S6 should report to the social area immediately after registration for their individual photograph, which will then be followed by the S6 group photograph.

The Prelim Examination Timetable, running from 25 November 2022 – 12 December 2022, is now available. If a Prelim Exam is in a classroom, pupils will be made aware of the exact classroom nearer the time, as in some cases the exam will not be in the usual classroom for that subject.
Pupils are asked to study this timetable carefully and highlight their exam times. If there are any clashes (there is a very small number for some pupils, where the combination of subjects is less common) please speak to the teacher concerned and they will support adaptations.
