Scots Hoose Competition Winner!
Well done to S2 pupil Lucas-Scott, who entered a Scots Hoose comics competition through our English Dept and won top prize in the whole of Scotland!

Lucas-Scott’s prize is four tickets to see Falkirk F.C., which he is absolutely delighted about — especially as his dad is a Falkirk fan!

A fantastic achievement, Lucas-Scott. We are very proud of you. 👏⚽

Celebrating our S4/5 M-Power Programme Pupils!

What an incredible five weeks for our S4/5 M-Power Programme pupils!

Through the EDT programme, and with huge thanks to Ben Mackay, every pupil achieved their Silver Industrial Cadet Award and Young STEM Leader Level 5 qualification.

Working alongside Miss Taylor and Miss Wood, most pupils also achieved the NPA in Tenancy and National 4 Introduction to Events unit, successfully planning and hosting a coffee morning for staff as part of their learning.

Thank you to Janice, our Careers Adviser, for her support, and to DYW for organising valuable workplace visits to Johnstons and Glen Moray.

We are incredibly proud of our pupils’ hard work, enthusiasm and achievements. Congratulations to everyone involved — a fantastic example of Working Together for Success!

Duke of Edinburgh Award - 70th Anniversary

Students from Elgin High School were honoured to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh award at Gordonstoun School, at the end of April.

Having completed their Bronze and Silver awards, Holly, Erin and Lilli shared their experiences with HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and how DofE Awards perfectly align with our school values:
| Respect | Responsibility | Resilience | Support | Success |

It was also a chance to show that there should be no barriers to achievement, highlighting Enhanced Provision’s canoe expedition including participants with limited mobility and wheel chair users.

Thank you to His Royal Highness; Teachers, PSAs and volunteers, Parents and Carers; Outfit Moray and the Moray Duke of Edinburgh's Award Committee; who all make it possible for our young people to have such great opportunities and succeed.

🎉 Congratulations to our S2 Baxters Soup Challenge winners! 🎉
A huge well done to our very talented S2 team — Freya, Ayla and Tia — who won the Baxters Soup Challenge Final yesterday, competing against other Moray secondary schools.
Their winning creation was a deliciously unique Butternut Squash, Coconut, Ginger & Rice Soup, inspired by the flavours of Kiribati.
We are incredibly proud of their creativity, teamwork and impressive culinary skills. A fantastic achievement — well done, Freya, Ayla and Tia! 👏
