S5/6 RE-COURSING

The SQA examination results are due to be issued to pupils on 5 August 2010.  We hope that all our pupils receive the results that they deserve, but are aware that examination results may result in the desire to change subjects or levels within a subject.

Once you have your results, you may need to consider changing your subjects or levels. 

If you need only to change the level of a subject within a column, then you can discuss the change on your return to school with the subject department. Read more about S5/6 RE-COURSING

LESSONS FROM AUSCHWITZ

Since 1999, over 10,000 pupils and teachers have taken part in the Holocaust Educational Trust's groundbreaking Lessons from Auschwitz Project.

Based on the premise that 'hearing is not like seeing', this four-part course explores the universal lessons of the Holocaust and its relevance for today. The LFA Project aims to increase knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust for young people and to clearly highlight what can happen if prejudice and racism become acceptable.
