SENIOR COURSE CHOICE SHEETS
A number of students in S4 & S5 have not yet returned Course Choice Sheets. Students are unlikely to get their first choice subjects unless these are returned immediately. Also, we need to know the names of those thinking about a Foundation Apprenticeship or Schools’-College partnership course (Highers etc.) which close at the start of the Easter Break. It is extremely important that Course Choice sheets are returned immediately and if anyone is interested in an apprenticeship programme, let us know as quickly as possible. Names, on Course Choice sheets, to the Office and Mr Jamieson (and Mrs Steele) as quickly as possible, and no later than Friday 22 March.
