Final Exams 2018
All S4-6 pupils were issued with a personalised final exam timetable at Tutor Time today.

Don’t wait till later to ask about possible mistakes/changes as the rules are different with SQA exams than with our prelims so go and see him immediately.

Shinty Tournament
Fifteen pupils travelled to Kingussie on Thursday for an S1/2 Shinty Tournament organised by the CamanachdAssociation. Our A team won 4 matches and drew 2, our B team had a great afternoon of shinty and beat our closest rivals, the Kingussie S1 team. The most entertaining game was the Grantown mixed A/B teams which resulted in a 2 all draw.
Well done to all the goal scorers who bagged fifteen goals between them and to everyone for great team spirit and sportsmanship.
Geek Fridays – S2/S3
Message from Skills Development Scotland:
Our exciting *new* after-school class ‘Geek Friday’ is open for S2s and S3s to learn about STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) in a fun, interactive way. It’s a relaxed environment where you can try your hand at professional photography, do cool science experiments, create virtual art, code your own music or build robots – it’s up to you! Our science guru Alessio is there to support you while you get creative!
If you can get to SDS’s digital lab in Church St, Inverness after school on Fridays I’m sure it would be a lot of fun.
Thanks for the Pants
The collection from our Christmas non-uniform day was used as a donation to our new partner school, the Nsobe Trust Community School, Ndola, Zambia.
