Lost property

REACH Scotland (Autism)

A great resource for pupils transferring to secondary school.
Support for pupils from ENQUIRE. Enquire’s website for young people has had a huge makeover thanks to the help of 75 young people and now has a new brand name – REACH. The core message is that no-one is out of reach, and that the right support can make all the difference to pupils who are struggling at school. The site includes lots of advice from young people themselves. ENQUIRE had input from a number of young people with Autism during the development of the site and there is autism specific information featured (and plans to include more in the future).

Science Skills

Senior Chemistry pupils have been learning about the ‘Thermite Reaction’ between aluminium and iron oxide.  This reaction creates aluminium oxide and iron (and a lot of heat energy!) This process is used to weld railway tracks together.

School Leavers

If you are leaving the School, you need this important information. Essentially, you will need to transfer all your documents to another Google Account as the school account provided by Highland Council closes within a few months of leaving. That means all information on these school accounts is deleted!

Handy advice on how to do this can be found here.

Before your account is removed, it is imperative that you change your email address on any accounts or websites which you have used your email address for. i.e. a few pupils didn’t follow the advice last year and couldn’t access their UCAS account (which they’d used their school email account for) to accept University placements. They could only login to UCAS with the email account stated which had been deleted when they went to login!
