Farewell to S6


On the evening of Thursday 28 June around 280 parents joined staff and the outgoing S6 for a champagne reception at the High School. This was a wonderful occasion, and gave me the opportunity to thank the pupils, parents and staff for their contributions over the years. Following  the reception, there was opportunity for photographs to be taken in the evening sunshine after which the S6 were taken by coach to the George Hotel where they enjoyed a sumptuous meal before exhibiting their dancing taelents.

On the morning of Friday 29 June the S6 attended a final assembly (some wearier than others following the exertions of the night before!) along with staff and other senior pupils. The assembly gave us an aooprtunity to reflect on all of the achievements during the past session and concluded with our school pipe band leading the S6 out of the school for the last time.

To all of our outgoing S6 we would wish to extend the school's gratitude for their contributions over the years and our sincere best wishes for the future.

I am confident that our students will continue to make significant positive contributions to our changing world.
