Big well done to Hamish Carmichael, S3, who won the Scottish Squash Under 15 Event for the top junior squash players in the country. The tournament was held over Saturday and Sunday in Aberdeen with Hamish winning the final 3 games to 1 against an opponent from Stirling. Wow!
Developing the Young Workforce
On Thursday we were delighted to host Hamish Macdonald from Buchan Offshore Wind who spoke to 60 pupils from the Physics and CDT classes. Hamish spoke about the application of Physics, Engineering, Biology and Chemistry in Offshore Wind and how these subjects can lead to careers in Green Energy.
With Offshore Wind forecast to directly employ 56,000 jobs by 2030 this was a fantastic opportunity to get an insight into a growth industry right on their doorsteps!

“THE WORLD TOUR (of Scotland)” ON SALE NOW
Cala grew up alongside each other in Inverness, Scotland. Their debut single Causeway (2020) and first studio album From the River (2023) were inspired by a love of performing live, and of the contemporary Trad scene of Scotland they were surrounded by when they first started playing music. The album captures the rush and vibrancy of Scottish traditional music in a fresh perspective, as well as some more spontaneous and meditative reflections on the genre.
Cala are a six piece Neo-traditional band, all former pupils of the Inverness Royal Academy and it’s a great testament to our fantastic and nurturing music department, who the band attribute much of their success to.
Following these first steps, Cala are now looking to their wider influences. Their following single Two-stroke Wheelbarrow (2023) shows an eagerness for experimentation and originality, with its groove-focused arrangement and exploration of new sounds. The latest, Pillars (2024), is a summer bop with a rich blanket of 80s-inspired sounds and heavy bass that further develops Cala’s new musical direction.
Next on the cards – “THE WORLD TOUR (of Scotland)”, a self-funded and self-promoted headline tour where fans will have the chance to hear old favourites and fresh ideas alike. Cala are now busy writing their next project with an ever-present passion.
