Senior
Awards Ceremony 2009
It is one of the most significant events on the school calendar,
marking as it does the culmination of the efforts of pupils and staff
together, to strive to achieve further and higher goals. This year’s
ceremony took place last Wednesday evening and was indeed a memorable
occasion.
Mr McAlpine’s Rector’s Report picked out the elements of ‘excellence’ and
‘change’ and highlighted how recently and over the course of the next
session major changes have been and will be taking place. This included the
current refurbishment to the school and the excellent facilities it will
strive to offer. He further highlighted to those in attendance the
‘excellent’ package that Bannockburn High has to offer with not only quality
teaching but the wide range of extra curricular activities on offer to
pupils. He closed by informing pupils, parents and staff of how the school
ethos has been evaluated and based on consultation with pupils and staff.
The Bannockburn ‘CARES’ motto will be relaunched in the new session to
outline the values that underpin the life of the school. Musical items were
provided by Craig Innes and the Vocal Group
Guest speaker Sandra McLumpha, a former pupil and founder of Fake Bake,
highlighted the need for determination and commitment to hard work when
seeking opportunities and advantages in the outside world. She encouraged
the pupils to make use of their school and community in the years ahead as
they move on from school and stressed the importance “Standing on your own
two feet” potential. Ms McLumpha presented the awards to the senior pupils
