Wee bit late but well done to our October Pupils of the Month! A few S3s managed to avoid photographs this month but will see if we can catch up with them this week 📸

A huge congratulations to our Senior Phase prize-winners for N5, Higher and the McGloin Writing Prize!
Here are our S1-S3 Pupils of the Month for September. Each will receive a praise postcard (in the post as we tweet!) and a silver house point. They will also be on display in the corridor so that we can use them as the shining examples they are.
Well done to all!
Really nice seeing our S1, S4, S5 and S6 back today. Looking forward to seeing the rest of you tomorrow and Friday :)

Is there a secondary pupil out there who is waiting for their results next Tuesday and would be interested in writing about their hopes and fears? If so, drop me a line - thank you. henry.hepburn@tesglobal.com
Some excellent poems, word portraits and name plates in from our new S1s today! Keep them coming tomorrow. Best way is to download the Powerpoint in the English folder (so that you can see the video demonstration) and then send a response to the English folder :)
Budding sports writers, take notice!

Today we received a lovely message for our pupils from Olympic swimmer, @BeckAdlington! She is a 4 time Olympic medalist and such an inspiration to all of us! Why not give her challenge a wee go as well?! @QMAOfficial #Ambition #StaySafe – at Scotland, United Kingdom
