S3 Prefects

We are looking for S3 pupils to apply for the role of S3 prefect to support the school while our senior pupils are on exam leave.  

Prefects are role models who lead by example, and they are expected to set high standards for themselves and others. By becoming a  prefect, you will have the opportunity to show that you are responsible, reliable and capable of taking on leadership roles.  Application forms can be found on the S3 Google Classroom and should be submitted by Wednesday the 27^th of March.

Congratulations to our Young Enterprise team – Scottish Sprouts, for winning the award for best Marketing and Communications at the Highland and Moray regional finals this week. Pictured with the award: Ellie Wood, Ryan Fleming, Aidan Oliver, Mollie MacBride, Millie Young and Sadie Traill.

On Friday, S1 & S2 pupils returned from their Loch Eil Outward Bound trip, and it was a week filled with unforgettable adventures and incredible achievements!

We have captured some stunning moments from the trip, and all the photos will soon be available for parents via the dedicated Google Classroom.

Our expectations for this trip were sky-high, and we are happy to say that our pupils surpassed them. They truly proved themselves to be a credit to our school, embodying our core values of respect, compassion, responsibility, honesty, and commitment throughout the entire week!

We would like to extend a huge thank you to our Outward Bound instructors for creating such amazing opportunities for our pupils.

Let's take a moment to highlight some of the unforgettable moments from their adventure-filled week:

Daring Jog & Dip: Despite the chilly weather, students fearlessly plunged into the freezing waters of Loch Eil for an invigorating jog and dip! Brrr!

Expedition: Our resilient pupils had the opportunity to camp out in tents and bothies, enduring some wild March weather

As we reflect on this amazing experience, it's evident that our pupils have discovered a newfound resilience, confidence, and the power of collaboration. We are incredibly proud and excited to witness them applying these attributes to their school life, homes, and future endeavours!

Remember to keep an eye out for the fantastic photos coming your way soon #ProudSchool #OutwardBound #Adventure #OutwardBoundLochEil #UnforgettableMemories

We are a group of S1 and S2 students and at the moment we are planning a Family Games Night that will be held at the school in April. We are trying to collect prizes for a raffle and for the games. This will be a fundraising activity for a school trip to Kartway and we have chosen to donate 10% of what we raise to Highland Hospice. Any extra funds raised will go towards a holiday club for students who need a bit of support during the school summer holidays.

Please could you send in any small donations that could be used as prizes! We are hoping to create a hamper of goodies to be won. If you are able to send in any of the following to the school office we would be very grateful:

Packets of Biscuits

Chocolates

Specialty teas and coffees

Crackers/bread sticks

Family Games

Or anything else you think would make a good prize!

Thank you so much for your help with this!

We visited Holm Primary STEM week on Wednesday. Mr Cullen and senior pupils delivered presentations and activities from all three sciences in secondary school to two P7 classes and the mixed P6/7 class. The primary pupils loved it and were really enthusiastic, engaged and asked loads of questions.

📚In celebration of World Book Day, the Inverness Royal Academy Library ran a “Book Selfie” competition. Pupils had great fun delving into the books shelves and amazed us with their creativity. A panel of S6 pupils judged the entries and selected the winners below. Well done and thank you to all who took part! Check out some of our selfies in the Photo Gallery!
