This is how the final exam timetable looks for our young people this year. We’re allowed to alter start times ever so slightly so have done so for a few exams with listening elements in order to avoid bells. A few rooming arranagments have still to be confirmed and pupils will not receive their individual timetables for a few weeks but they can start planning around these dates and times.
Happy studying everyone!
All the lost property that has accumulated at the school will be displayed in the Main Hall on Monday 24 February from break until 6.30pm. Please come along and be re-united with all your jumpers, jackets and PE kits!
Pupils will be learning how to create simple messages using Python during the next few weeks in computing classes. These small programs will be uploaded to the International Space Station where the code will run on an Astro Pi device, take readings and give messages to the astronauts.
Information for pupils is in Classroom and on the Mission Zero site.
Sunday 7 June to Wednesday 10 June 2020
What is it?
This Summer School is a great opportunity to spend some time at the University, finding out what life is like for a student. It is a residential programme so you will be staying in a hall of residence at the University and taking part in a range of activities, both academic and recreational.
The St Andrews Summer School is open to pupils between the summer of S4 and S5 from Fife, Argyll & Bute, the Western Isles, the Highlands, Orkney and Shetland.
What will I be doing?
The activities and sessions for the Summer School have been designed to give you a taster of a range of different academic subjects. This way you will find out more about what subjects universities can offer and what might suit you.
You will also take part in sessions designed to help you build up the study skills you will need to support you at school as well as progressing on to university.
Of course, it would not be a true university experience without a taster of the social side of things! During the programme you’ll have the opportunity to take part in a range of social activities including sports, quizzes and film nights as well as staying in student accommodation.
What does it cost?
The Summer School is free to attend and the University will cover the cost of your travel to and from St Andrews. Please note that the university will only cover the cheapest form of travel for the pupil attending the summer school only. This does not include additional travellers or hotel stays. You will only have to bring spending money for your lunch and any other personal use.
How do I apply?
Go and see your Guidance teacher and complete the application form and return it via post or email by the specified deadline of Friday 27th March 2020.
With only 10 more calendar weeks till the first SQA the SQA My Study Plan app may be worth downloading.
The app will allow you create your own personalised study plan based on your exam times, their importance and when you want to study.
Once the plan is created you can view and edit it to further meet your needs. You can share your plan as a printable calendar or list. You can track study progress using the study timer and get reminders on the days you plan to study.
Available for Apple and Android devices.
For those who do not have or are waiting on delivery of wellies or walking boots for the trip, please see Mr Wilson in PE as you may borrow a pair.
Ellie Cooper, currently studying Interior Design in Glasgow, has work exhibited on the West End Art Gallery’s website. Some of these drawings she made while studying at school – a very talented young artist.
