Huge congratulations to our senior boys who won a thrilling match last night against Dingwall Academy, in the North of Scotland Cup Final last night at Clach Park. FT score was 1-1 going through to penalties, which the boys won 4-3, with Ryan Chalmers saving the last penalty to take us to a win. The last time Inverness Royal Academy won this cup was in 1984! Amazing achievement boys! 
This week has seen the ‘final push’ for all our Senior Phase Art & Design pupils to complete their practical folio work ahead of the course deadline. The Art & Design Dept. hosted a ‘Folio Frenzy’ on Wednesday evening for pupils to make further refinements and adjustments to their work. As the Folio Frenzy evening coincided with a Parental Information Evening, our Senior Phase pupils to the opportunity to invite parents to view the artwork preparation. There were many positive comments about the work on display – well done to all our pupils for their hard work & creativity. 🎨👩🏻🎨
Please see our presentation from last night's S2 into S3 Course Choice Parents' Information Evening.
On Tuesday we hosted a series of Girls into Physics and Engineering Workshops. Pupils from our school were joined by girls from Millburn and Alness - nearly 60 pupils in total! These workshops were designed to highlight various applications of physics and engineering and was all organised by the Institute of Physics to encourage more girls to take up opportunities in Physics, Engineering and generally STEM. Presenters and demonstrators came from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Strathclyde and Dundee Universities. Activities included structural design, particle physics, ultrasound, polarisation and light. It is hoped that this event will be staged here again next year. 
Well done and thank you to everyone involved! 🙏🏻
