Nominations are now open and can be completed through a Google Form(link is external)(link is external).

The deadline for nominations for this academic year will be Friday 30th May 2026.  Any applications received after this date will role on to the next meeting of the committee (December 2027).

If you are willing to join the pupil committee who help make judgments on awards please come and speak with Mr Clark.

RRSA RIGHT OF THE WEEK

 

Carluke High School - Equity

 

 

Every child has the right to an education.  Primary education should be free. Secondary and Higher education should be available to every child.  Children should be encouraged to go to school to the highest level possible.  Discipline in schools should respect children's rights and never use violence.  

 

This also means you do not have the right to take away these rights from anyone.  EVERY child has the right to learn.  :-)
