Following on from the Science and English interdisciplinary project, two pupils’ creative writing pieces were submitted into the Scottish-wide competition ran by the University of St Andrews. Congratulations goes out to Freddie Hoare in S2, who was one of the four runners-up of the competition. His story was an imaginative take on the events which led to chemist, Christina Cruikshank Miller, losing her sight in one eye. Well done Freddie!
Congratulations to Jenna Campbell in S4 who reached the final long list with her thought provoking fox hunting essay in this year’s Scottish Schools’ Young Writer of the Year competition and was “Commended”. The full report of finalists and judges’ comments can be viewed here:
Work will be taking place on Station Road in Ardersier for 12 weeks, from Monday 3rd April. This means that after the Easter break the No 111 Stagecoach service for Ardersier will be diverted along Stuart Street into and out of Ardersier. However the No 111 will not service Nairn Road as the bus will not be able to turn.

We will also explain SQA’s processes and then we have heads of department coming from most departments to talk about the new courses that are on offer. Thereafter there will be a short presentation about how Guidance can help your child at this time. This part of the evening will finish with a chance to ask questions of the heads of department or senior managers to get more detail.
In the social area from 7pm there will be representatives of Highland Council Apprenticeships, Lifescan, Breedon, Dicksons of Inverness, QA Apprentices and UHI. They are keen to meet our parents and young people and talk about Apprenticeship opportunities that they have now or in the near future. S6 Pupils and Parents considering an Apprenticeship are more than welcome to call in about 7pm and chat to the employers. Skills Development Scotland will also be in attendance to offer information and support.
No booking required- we hope to see you there.

The Barn Church car park used by some parents to pick up and dop off pupils will be unavailable to all from late February for 6/8 weeks. In the interest of safety, children who currently walk up and down the drive way should follow the Gruffalo path at the back of the Church as there will be heavy machinery moving around.Following this work the Barn Church will have a carpark fit for purpose with 70 spaces and no muddy field.The driveway into the Church is a public walk way belonging to the council and is not intended for parking on.
