Tomorrow (Thursday) 1RY will be creating maps and guides for visitors to the Grantown area. We will be out all day and every pupil will need walking boots, waterproofs, a hat, gloves and a packed lunch.
Please register with your first class in the morning and then meet in M5.
This should be the final version of the Prelim timetable for this year. There have been a few alterations since the last version, which have been highlighted in red, but all pupils should check their personal timetables against this.
All S4-S6 pupils should now have their individual prelim timetable. Please see their Tutor folder if they haven’t received it or go to the school office to collect. These personalised timetables show alternative arrangements for any pupils who require this for exams. The presentation Mr Ross gave at assembly on Tuesday 22 January is also attached. This can look a bit scary at first with trying to remember all the do’s and dont’s but the main thing to remember is check the timetable and ask if you’re not sure about anything.
Good luck everyone!

Game 2 however was a much more contested affair! From the get-go, there was never more than a goal or two between the teams and it required some super defence from Olivia (GK), Molly (GD) and Lottie at Wing Defence, in order for the girls to stay ahead. Relentless pressure from Rachel (Centre) and GA, Rebekah, was also crucial in the final stages. Final score, 13-12.
Well done girls!
Thank you to all the parents who attended the E-Safety Evening. The presentation can be found in the Information section of the School Website or here.
Yesterday (Tuesday 15th), there was a School assembly to introduce our latest initiative,”Try to reduce your plastic use!” This was led by the Staff Health and Well-being Working Group who have been learning about the causes, impacts and solutions to plastic pollution.
Our challenges are to:
1. Collect all the plastic waste that is disposed of in school, from now until the February break. It will be collected in special bins throughout the school and transferred to a trampoline net outside the staff room. We will monitor how it grows through time lapse photography!
2. Provide all pupils with a re-usable water bottle after the February break.
3. Look for a group of volunteers, who can look at our plastic use and come up with ways that we can try to reduce it!
4. Think what pupils can do to reduce their plastic use.
If anyone has any queries or ideas, please get in touch with Mrs Knight or Mr Wilson at the School.
