Gaelvember is now halfway through but it’s not too late to get involved.

1) Complete the quiz on your Housegroup Classroom. Housegroups will be awarded Housepoints depending on how many people give it a go. The names of all those who get 100% right will be put into a random name picker and one lucky person will win a £20 gift card.

2) The Duolingo competition is heating up and we hear some teachers are also taking part. Don’t let them win! Join the Duolingo ‘class’ using the code XGXCKJ - any problems, speak to Mrs Beattie in Room 233. At the end of November, those with the top 3 XP placings will earn themselves a gift card for £30, £20, and £10. Remember, you can also come along to Room 234 Tuesday lunchtimes for Duolingo club. Gur math theid leibh! Good luck!

3) S1-3 Gàidhlig and Gaelic department pupils only – don’t forgot the extra challenges set on your GCs. There will be a prize for the pupils who make the most effort to take on the extra challenges.

This year, we’re arranging a Christmas Dress Drive collecting “gently used” wear for our Christmas dances. We are seeking donations of dresses, shirts, suits, jumpsuits and formal attire for the festive season in any size.

We would like to ensure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the dances and the drive offers a chance for the school community to give back and spread holiday cheer. By reusing and repurposing clothing, this drive helps reduce waste and gives new life to gently worn items whilst also promoting a sustainable, cost effective and eco-friendly approach to holiday festive attire.

Donations can be dropped off at designated locations during the collection period and then available items will be shared by a senior group of pupils via social media and a collection point in school. Items can be altered if needed to ensure a perfect fit kindly provided by our own home economics department.

We hope to help spread holiday joy through this meaningful initiative.

S5/6 PARENTS EVENING - As we have the senior parents evening approaching, please consider any items you may wish to donate and take them along with you. A donation box will be available in the main atrium as you sign in to parents evening.

UHI are having their last open day of 2024 and have a range of courses starting in January 2025, perfect for students thinking about leaving at Christmas.
