Guidance iLibrary

Why Have We Created This?

Sometimes we can have questions about our health but can be overwhelmed by the volume of information available online or don’t feel comfortable (yet) to speak to a trusted adult.

The Guidance Department have chosen a selection of resources and videos to increase your knowledge which you might find useful.

We have included Highland based support groups and agencies which you can self-refer to or access through school.

That said, the Guidance department are always willing to have a chat so please get in contact if you have any questions.

Drop Everything and Read Event

On Thursday 30th March pupils in S1, S2 and S3 took part in a spontaneous drop everything and read event during their block 2 class to celebrate reading for enjoyment and World Book Day (which was earlier this month). All junior pupils chose a World Book Day book during an English lesson from the “mini bookshop” set up in the library. These books were personalised with their name and gifted to the pupils in the morning of the event. You could hear a pin drop in classrooms across the school as pupils lost themselves in their new book!

If you are in S1-3 and you didn’t get chance to choose your book, there are still a few left to pick from. Please speak to Mrs Ingram in the library or Miss Machin in room 124.

Science: Fiction: Make: Believe

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!

Parent Information Evening

On Wednesday 1st March at 6.30 we have our S4/5 Parents Information Evening. At the event we will explain our Choice of Course system and outline the options for next session and the timeline. 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.
