Children In Need
The Charities Committee was fundraising last Friday for Children in Need.
There was a variety of stalls for staff and pupils to visit during interval
and lunchtime, for example ‘Guess the Teacher’, ‘Guess Pudsey’s Birthday’,
‘How Many Sweets are in the Jar?’ and the lunchtime jukebox. A grand total
of £206 was raised and will be donated to Children in Need. Well done to all
those involved.
ACE Events
Over the next few weeks the school shall be promoting Barnado’s “Real Gifts”
project. This involves donating money to Barnado’s in the school and the
money goes towards gifts for children at Christmas such as a warm meal,
school essentials, a fun day out and much more. The gifts are simple and
easy to achieve, something these children may be missing and as a school we
are hoping to be able to buy as many gifts as we can. Please donate
generously.
History Trip To Stirling Castle
The History Department visited Stirling Castle this week to participate in a
variety of interactive activities in line with the Standard Grade course.
S4 Prelims
The S4 prelims have begun this week. S4 pupils should only attend school
when they have scheduled exam or if they have made a prior arrangement with
staff. Dress, although casual, should be appropriate when attending, that is
no football colours should be worn in school.

The Eco group will be planting daffodil bulbs in the school grounds next
week as part of their activities. The bulbs will be monitored by the group
in preparation for their bloom in springtime.
