Before the end of term, our P7 Young Engineers had fantastic success at the Greenpower Goblin event at the Grampian Transport Museum. After intense races around the track, the group won numerous trophies including finishing 1st and 2nd overall in the competition.

The Robert Gordon's College community is deeply saddened by the passing of former pupil Sir Ian Wood, Class of ‘60.

One of Scotland's most respected business leaders and philanthropists, Sir Ian remained immensely proud of his school roots throughout his life. His leadership, generosity and strong commitment to education have had a transformational impact on generations of young people attending Robert Gordon’s College.

He will be remembered not only for his extraordinary achievements in business, but for his humility, integrity and lifelong commitment to creating opportunities for others.

Our thoughts are with Lady Helen, the Wood family and all who had the honour of knowing Sir Ian.

Before the end of term, Cadet Company Sergeant Major Gaby was presented with her Lord-Lieutenant's Cadet Award.

Presented by the Lord-Lieutenant of Aberdeen, Dr David Cameron, the award reflects her exceptional commitment, leadership and professionalism.

As a Lord-Lieutenant's Cadet, Gaby will assist at civic, military and ceremonial events throughout the year, including Royal visits, Remembrance services, Armed Forces Day, citizenship ceremonies and other important community occasions. She will also serve as an ambassador for Robert Gordon's College CCF and continue to inspire our younger cadets.

Mr Black, CCF School Staff Instructor, shared: "It has been an absolute privilege to watch Gaby grow into the confident, dedicated and inspiring young leader she is today. Through her hard work and willingness to support others, she has become an exceptional role model within the RGC CCF. We have no doubt that she will represent both the College and the Cadet Forces with distinction throughout her appointment."
