Read MoreHighland Schools’ Debating Competition
Published 21/06/24IRA pupils represented the school brilliantly in the inaugural Highland Schools’ Debating Competition on Wednesday. The event was supported by Highland Council and Young Speakers Scotland, and generously sponsored by the law firm Brodies LLP. Brodies Family Law Partner Sarah Lilly attended to judge debates and speak to pupils about careers in law. Well done to Caspian Kingham (S6) and Ali Jones (S4) for speaking, as well as Julia Cacaj (S4) for judging for the first time. Special congratulations to Lois Patience (S4) who was selected by the Chief Adjudicator to judge the final. There will be lots of opportunities to participate in debating and public speaking next session, including mock COP, and interested pupils should speak to Mr Clarkson in RMPS.

Read MoreReading Schools Accreditation
Published 20/06/24"Reading enjoyment has been reported as more important for children’s educational success than their family’s socio-economic status." (OECD, 2002).
The IRA is working towards Reading Schools Accreditation. We would love to have positive conversations around how we can encourage our students to read more. As part of our Reading Schools journey, we are asking students to use our school library to take out a book to read over the summer holidays. Our students have created a list of their top 10 books which is a great place to start if you're uncertain about what to recommend.
Ask your child if they've managed to take out a book! Thank you!

They had a great time listening to inspirational speakers, seeing a showcase of excellent pupil presentations from across Scotland, and listening to music by Joe Goodall. Our new S3 are already working hard in RMPS to make next session even better!

Read MoreFree Bus Travel
Published 20/06/24Free bus travel
If your child is turning twelve, they will need a new National Entitlement Card (NEC) with a photo on it to access free bus travel. Photo-less NECs are only valid until the day before your child’s 12th birthday, and you can apply for a new NEC with their photo any time from their 11th birthday.
The school will be placing a bulk application for new S1 pupils whose parents, carers or guardians wish to apply. This will be done once they start in the school after the summer. However you can apply before that from home if you wish. You can choose between a Young Scot NEC, which also provides rewards and discounts and is a PASS accredited form of ID, or a non branded NEC. Find out how to apply and read tips for parents, guardians and carers at freebus.scot.
Free bus travel can open up a world of possibilities with easier access to education, social and leisure opportunities. It can also help you to save money on public transport, making regular journeys and new adventures more affordable for your family!
