Congratulations to our S1/2 and S3/4 girls football teams who played in the SPAR Cup yesterday and qualified for the next round. The S1/2 team played 11 games scoring 35 goals and the S3/4 team played 10 games scoring 27 goals! (Apologies we have no photo of the S3/4 team). AMAZING job girls. We are all very proud. A special thanks to Mrs Rennie for coaching the senior team.

Following on from the two minute silence today, our School Captains (Ellie Gorin and Charlotte Rose McNeish) and Vice School Captains (Daniel Cowan and Kirsten Carmichael) along with Mr Piper, laid a wreath at Midmills Building (the old Inverness Royal Academy building) to remember former pupils and staff who gave their lives in two world wars and other conflicts around the world.

'They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.'

Inverness Royal Academy observed the 2 minute silence this morning. Beth Hutchison played The Last Post in the atrium and Maili MacLennan played Flowers of the Forest on the pipes.

In summer 2023, wildlife researcher Flo created this feature-length documentary film as she embarked on an intensely personal journey around nature restoration projects and rewilded areas across Europe. Like many of her generation, she was concerned by the state of nature and fearful about an uncertain future. However, she discovered places where nature was making a spectacular comeback, breathing life back into the landscape and revitalising human communities. Encouraged by these stories of hope and renewal, she was prompted to wonder, why not Scotland? Book Here
