Well done to all of our Culloden Academy musicians who performed in the Highland Young Musicians ‘Concert Festival’ at Eden Court on Saturday.
We are very proud of all of you for your hard work and professionalism.
Huge congratulations to Julian Smolinski 2DC2 who has qualified for the Scottish Boccia Championships in Glasgow later this month.
Julian has achieved this through lots of practice, skill and a strong competitive edge. He has worked his way from winning the school heats in February, the Inverness Heats at Millburn Academy and now the Highland Heats at UHI Inverness. The standard of play at this level was high and Julian had to deploy all his skills to win his category. We wish him all the best in Glasgow!
Last Thursday we held a Staff v Pupils Girls Football match at lunch on the astro.

Well done to everyone for competing and a big thank you to the crowd for cheering on both teams.

The senior football team’s run in the Scottish Schools Shield has come to a heartbreaking end.
After leading against Notre Dame High School until the 90th minute, the game finished 1-1 after normal time and they lost the deciding penalty shootout 4-3. Culloden were on top for the vast majority of the game and with 20 minutes to go they thought that Fionn Larnach’s powerful run and driven finish was enough to see them through. A further goal 10 minutes later from Oscar Beattie would have sent the team through for sure but it was chalked off after a narrow offside decision from the referee. Then, with almost the last kick of the game the Notre Dame team pulled level, finishing from close range after a long range effort was followed up by their striker. Culloden scored 3 of their penalties but the Notre Dame goalkeeper was the hero on the day, saving 2.
Well done to the boys this year on a very successful run and good luck to the S6 boys with their future footballing endeavours – Mr Houston
Our S1 girls travelled to take on James Gillespie’s High School this week and were so close—missing out by just one point!
A tough result, but we couldn’t be prouder of the determination, teamwork, and resilience they showed from start to finish.
Brilliant effort, girls!
