St Margaret's School for Girls

What an incredible week for our 7 Junior pupils at the Scottish Adventure School in Crieff!

From white-water rafting and canoeing to high ropes, gorge walking and rock climbing, the girls embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, resilience and determination. Along the way, they developed confidence, independence and teamwork while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

We are so proud of how they represented themselves, their families and St Margaret's – even tackling a 9.5km walk in the pouring rain with smiles on their faces!

Congratulations to Maisie on an outstanding skiing achievement!

Maisie skied brilliantly to take 1st place in the P1–P4 Girls category and also recorded the second-fastest time overall across both the P1–P4 girls' and boys' competitions.

A fantastic performance and a wonderful accomplishment. Well done, Maisie, we are so proud of you! 🌟

Last weekend Arabella (IIIS), was excited to win her first cap for Scotland. She was part of the Emerging Talent Scottish Hockey team playing in the Ulster Series in Glasgow. Arabella started in all three matches and assisted in two of the goals for Scotland. They had a loss, then a win and then a draw to finish so were happy overall with their results. A fantastic achievement, Arabella, everyone at St Margaret’s is incredibly proud of you!

The Nursery children were delighted to present their Summer Show to their parents last week. The children showcased their amazing artwork as a backdrop for their performance.

With singing, actions, speaking parts and clapping rhythms along to the Radetzky March it was an afternoon of fun and learning for all.

This was a lovely opportunity for the children to share some of what they have learned in their music lessons with Mrs Magill this session.

Having some visitors from Rubislaw Park Care Home made the event even more special. 🎵✨

"In IIS Physics, we have been learning about the application of forces. We applied our knowledge to designing and building different types of bridges, including beam, arch, suspension and cable-stay bridges. It was a great opportunity to be creative while thinking like engineers." – Penny, IIS

Our IIS Physics pupils have been putting their learning into practice by exploring how forces influence bridge design. After studying different bridge structures and the role of tension in cables, the girls completed the project by constructing their own suspension or cable-stay bridges using lolly sticks and string.

A fantastic example of creativity, problem-solving and engineering in action!

Join us tomorrow at our working open morning!

The benefits of an all girls' education are manifold, and here at St Margaret's our girls are immersed in active learning opportunities from an early age, in which they thrive without gender stereotypes or biases.

🎵 The annual Murray Competition took place on Thursday, with girls of Grade 4–5 standard showcasing their musical talents before adjudicators Mr Allan Bicket and Mr Alan Haggart. Congratulations to Penny, who was awarded first place and will receive the Murray Shield at Speech Day. A huge well done to all of our competitors for providing such an enjoyable and inspiring afternoon of music.🎶

Last weekend, our IIIS students successfully completed their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition. Demonstrating resilience, teamwork and determination, they navigated their routes, managed camp life and overcame challenging weather conditions along the way.

A fantastic achievement and a memorable experience for all involved – well done, everyone! 👏
