S1/2 Interim Reports
S1/2 Interim reports are in the process of being emailed to pupils in S1/2 today. Pupils will receive a digital report via their gmail school account. Please ask your child to share their report with you and discuss their progress.
We have moved to a more efficient digital reporting system which reduces the Covid 19 transmission risk due to handling paper reports.
Please be aware this is an interim report not a full report. If you have concerns about your child’s progress please contact their Guidance Teacher by email/phone.
Xmas Performances
In these strange times the music department is missing the opportunity of staging a concert to share the talents of our pupils. As some compensation for the absence of a concert there are to be a series of short musical performances shared with you over the days leading up to the Christmas holidays. Due to Covid restrictions they will, in the main, be solo performances and some might have a Christmas flavour.
Any pupil who would like to take part should see Mrs McCulloch in the music department.
This first one is a piano piece ‘Clair de Lune’ – Debussy, performed by Ruth Mackenzie (S6).
Clair de Lune – Ruth Mackenzie
This is the second performance of the series – this time Ellen Shering of S4.
She performs on violin – ‘Survivor’ by Wedgewood.
This is the third performance in the series – Ruairidh Nicolson (S5) has composed this lovely piece for jazz piano. He performs it here for you.
The fourth performance in the series comes from Finlay MacLennan of S5.
The fifth performance in the series – a composition from Amy Naulls S5
“Today’s musical item comes from Katie Torrens of S4 – a piano piece called “The Reef”
Beth Hutchison (S2) performing ‘Jigadon’ on trumpet.

Wishing you all a restful break and lovely Christmas despite the difficult circumstances.
