As part of our Book Week Scotland celebrations, we ran our usual, Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) for our S4-S6 pupils.
Pupils could read a book of their choice, or the Scottish Book Trust book for 2025 on Friendship. Many thanks to all our senior pupils who took part.

To kick off our book week Scotland celebrations, last week we visited the incredible @highland.zine.bothy.
Iona, talked us through their amazing collection of zines from all around the world and showed us how to make our own mini zines (magazines).
Our pupils produced some absolutely gorgeous work on the book week Scotland theme for 2025, which is friendship.
It was such a creative and inspiring day.
Many thanks to all the pupils that came along and to the @highland.zine.bothy for such a fantastic workshop.
Join Skills Development Scotland on Wednesday 3rd December at 6.30pm for a free webinar for parents and carers of S1 to S3 pupils on option choices.

We will also introduce you to additional SDS resources available to support young people and their parents and carers.
What a night at Culloden Academy!

Last week one of our S3 Admin classes handed over 47 boxes and a bag of extras to Neill Prentice, Blythswood Fundraising Manager.
Pupils have done an amazing job of planning, marketing and packing the boxes for the appeal.
Thank you to all of our school community for their donations, which will enable 47 people in Eastern Europe to have the delight of opening a present this Christmas.
Well done everyone.
The letter below was emailed to all parents and carers last week, outlining updates to arrangements in the event of adverse weather.
An important letter about changes to the security of our school campus has been emailed to all Parents and Carers this morning. A copy is available below.
The changes being implemented must be followed by everyone who uses our school campus. The measures are being introduced to keep all of our young people, staff and school community safe.
Last term pupils from the Technology Department visited a World of Work Taster event, organised by DYW at Fort George. They experienced seven hands-on, interactive work tasters from various local businesses.
Our Higher Business Management pupils got the opportunity to improve their understanding of operations management recently, when they visited West Fraser Ltd and received a tour of the site. The visit also inspired pupils with regards to careers. A huge thank you to the staff at West Fraser for supporting the school.
