Congratulations to three former pupils who have achieved the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s Bronze Leadership Award.

Please see the letter below about swimming lessons for S1 & S2 pupils in PE.

This letter has been emailed to all Parents and Carers this morning. It covers:

• New Term – High Expectations around Attendance
• Walk for Your House – Sponsored Walk
• School Show – Billy Elliot

Dyslexia Scotland is hosting an online webinar on the 24^th September, “How to ace your exams”.

Participants will gain a clear, accessible overview of multisensory strategies, dyslexic learning profiles and effective revision methods that make study more manageable.

Please see the link below to information about Qualifications Scotland’s appeal service. If you are considering an appeal, please speak to your teacher in the first instance. Mr Weafer will publish google forms on the year group classrooms should pupils wish the school to appeal on their behalf.

We are excited to announce that this year’s school show will be Billy Elliot!

Set against the backdrop of the miners’ strike in 1980s England, the story follows Billy as he discovers a passion for dance and courageously challenges expectations, exploring powerful themes of determination and identity.

Any students who would like to be part of this exciting production must attend an after-school meeting 3:40- 4:15 on Monday 24th August in the Theatre, where they will find out all about the audition process and how to get involved. Performers and those looking to help backstage, we are so looking forward to seeing you all there!

Any questions, please go see the Music and Drama Department.

Here are all the Gold, Silver and Bronze certificate winners in the SMC maths competition this year.  The standard for this competition is very high and these pupils have done exceptionally well to receive these awards. 

A big well done also to all the other pupils who took part this year, we hope you try again next time!

Sofia De Vita, Emma Boyd and Becca Lawrence all competed at the European Dance Summit in Portugal last weekend and along with their team brought home a Gold, Silver, Bronze and 4th place. Amazing effort with some incredible competition.
