The PE Department are currently trialing self evaluation with their S1 pupils. This will give pupils the opportunity to understand the strengths and weaknesses in their performance and enable them to set targets for improvement in S2.

The focus of the evaluations will be Rugby and Hockey

To complete the evaluation follow this link to the PE Department page.

The Biology Department are holding an event called Ecolife in the School Assembly Hall and Social Area on Thursday 4 November from 7 pm.

We just wanted to let you know a bit about it and to ask for a few wee favours!

The evening is for pupils, parents and members of the community to attend.  The event will have stalls with eco crafts and jewellery, eco food, plants, information stalls about what we are doing in school and how to become more eco friendly at home.  As part of the evening we will have a 'swap in the city' clothing, book, computer game and DVD exchange where people can bring in unwanted items and swap them for something they would like.  In addition to this we plan to have an eco fashion show during the evening where pupils model clothes from the local charity shops.  We will also be offering refreshments in the form of local goodies and home baking. 

What we need help with is:

• Volunteers to help on the evening itself
• Donations of clothes/jewellery / DVDs / books / CDs/ computer games
• Any other ideas or suggestions you may have

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Slowther, Miss Ward, or Dr Wilson via the school office on 01620 823387 or via email.
