"You Can Be A Doctor are a charitable organisation both founded and run by doctors and medical students. We aim to assist those from disadvantaged backgrounds with their applications to medicine. We understand that not all Scottish pupils have the same advantages when it comes to applying to university, particularly to a competitive course like medicine. We believe strongly in diversifying our profession and therefore work closely with Reach and state schools to deliver our events. 

We are running a free UCAT summer program this summer for pupils in 5th or 6th year who are applying to medicine in October 2021."

Girls football will not be on this Thursday (27 May 2021). We will be back next Thursday (3 June 2021) at the 3G from 4-5pm.

Thanks,
Miss Stobie and Miss Williamson

Pan Visibility Day is on 24 May 2021 and is a day to celebrate and recognise those who identify as Pansexual. Pansexuality is different from bisexuality but the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Being bisexual means being attracted to more than one gender, while being pansexual means being attracted to people regardless of gender.

To learn more about it, watch this clip.

The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia was created in 2004 to draw the attention to the violence and discrimination experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex people and all other people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions, and sex characteristics.

The date of May 17th was specifically chosen to commemorate the World Health Organization’s decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder.
The Day represents a major global annual landmark to draw the attention of decision makers, the media, the public, corporations, opinion leaders, local authorities, etc. to the alarming situation faced by people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions, and sex characteristics.
