New Head of Rugby Performance role supports RGC Vision for Sport Latest News from Robert Gordon's College

As part of their post-exam programme, some of our S6 pupils have been participating in a range of valuable sessions designed to prepare them for life beyond school.

From learning about money management and budgeting to discussing how to look after themselves and others while at university, pupils have been developing important life skills for their next chapter. They also had the opportunity to participate in self-defence classes, building confidence and learning practical techniques to help keep themselves safe.

🎉Celebrating 10 Years at The Craig Centre for Performing Arts! 🎉

We were delighted to welcome members of the wider Gordons community, past and present, to the Craig Centre for Performing Arts as we celebrated its 10th anniversary.

The evening was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on a decade of creativity, performance and achievements, while bringing together those who have played a part in the Centre's success over the years. We were especially pleased to welcome Douglas Craig, whose generosity and support helped make the Craig Centre a reality.

Here's to another ten years of giving our pupils a truly inspiring place to perform, rehearse and grow.

This session, we mark 100 years since the opening of the Kindergarten for boys aged 5-7 at Robert Gordon’s College. To celebrate this remarkable milestone, some of our Nursery and Junior School children took part in a fun-filled day of centenary birthday festivities.

Throughout the day, the pupils explored the rich history of the College, visiting an original classroom in the West Wing and hearing from the College Archivists, as well as enjoying traditional playground games, dancing to 1920s music and contributing letters and keepsakes to a time capsule for 2126.

The day was made even more memorable by an optional dress-up day inspired by the theme of “100”, with pupils showcasing an array of imaginative costumes including historical figures and period-inspired outfits, as well as creative costumes decorated with 100 stickers.
