Head Teacher Update Mon 30 October 2023
Last week we held our annual Senior Phase Awards Evening for 2023. This event has been reformatted and is now held in October instead of June as it better reflects the attainment of young people in the SQA diet from the previous session. Our Academic Achievement Awards were also a great way to celebrate students working to the best of their ability and ensuring the evening was inclusive. It was also great to celebrate some of the success stories through recognising students who had achieved success in areas such as volunteering and the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. The feedback we received on the evening was very positive and we have also taken on some feedback around the management of the awards to continue to build on the evening and make improvements for the next session. I would like to sincerely thank the following staff for helping and attending the event:
Craig Dewar – for developing and managing the new event
Cal Hind and Ava Fox – for their amazing job hosting the evening
Beth Holwell Ellis – for her excellent administrative support
Office and janitorial staff for their support
Keith Murphy – for technical support with sound and lighting
Morven Murphy – for the two music items by the Junior Vocal group
SMT
Margaret Brandie – for organising the Prize Table
