🎬 Exploring Film Opportunities with Eden Court 🎥

Our NPA Film and Media students had a fantastic visit from Drew Tremlett at Eden Court! 🌟

Drew provided invaluable insights into the vibrant film industry in Scotland and the exciting opportunities available for aspiring filmmakers right here in the Highlands at Eden Court.

During this informative session, students learned about various roles in film production, including director, writer, camera operators, and sound technicians. 🎞️✨

 Our students engaged in hands-on discussions and creative exercises. Drew also guided us through the creative process of developing our own stories for film, delving into different genres and the art of composition to convey meaning on screen.

A big thank you to our DYW school coordinator for arranging this visit and to Eden Court and Drew Tremlett for inspiring our students and helping to ignite their passion for filmmaking! 🎉

The Music/Drama department are looking to celebrate the talents and skills of their students

Each music/drama teacher will select one student each week for their ‘Student of the Week’ – this could be awarded for taking responsibility, demonstrating commitment or excellence in classwork

We are also looking for information about students who are successful in music and drama exams both within and out with the school setting. If your child has been successful in one of these assessments please ask them to let their music/drama teacher know about it. We are happy to go back to the start of 2025, so any passes since then will be recognised with their name on the Music Department Noticeboard

🫀🔬 A group of S2 pupils had a fascinating visit from a team of biomedical scientists and a member of the mortuary team this week. They explored how the heart and circulatory system work, while discovering real-world applications of classroom learning. 

Pupils also got a valuable insight into career pathways in microbiology, lab sciences, and pathology. A brilliant opportunity to connect science learning with the world of work - thank you to all the NHS professionals who shared their expertise.

Pupils from the Core had a wonderful day out at the RHET Farm Day at the Black Isle Showground yesterday. Despite a bit of rain, the pupils had a great time making butter from cream, milking cows, sitting in tractors, talking to llamas and sheep, planting beans and peas, grinding oats and corn and making thread from wool… all in a morning!
