Liz MacRae arrived at Gairloch High School to teach Physics and Science "for a year or two". Last week, after 35 years of dedicated service to the High School, she officially retired! 🔭

Endless patience and a lot of wisdom sum up much of Liz's time inside and outside the classroom. We put her cooking skills to the test during trips, she got our pupils involved in new and innovative science experiences and latterly she's been a valued mentor to probation teachers as they take their first steps in the classroom.

She taught both Stuart, our head, and Karen, our depute - although we're not sure giving each of them a test on wiring a plug, cross-stitch and making pancakes would give quite the results Liz deserves!

Thank you for the many years you've given the pupils and staff of Gairloch High School! 🥰

Our Leavers Video takes a look back through the years and follows our class of 2020-2026 from smiley and enthusiastic S1s to young adults, some of who have been working in our wider community for the last couple of years. This year group had a tricky start, joining our school after one lockdown and soon entering another - but there's been plenty of classwork, trips and activities to capture for the memories!

All the best to each of these young people as they spread their wings beyond Gairloch High School - and thank you to Ally, Elsie, Kealan, Erin, Kelvin, William, Khaled, Andrew, Noa, Murdo, Lachlann, Joshua, Olivia, Isla, Harris, Cameron, Maisie, Monica, Ben and Rachel for the contributions you've made to life in the High School and wider community.

🏆Attainment in schools has evolved from the days gone by and pupils can now be recognised for achievement in courses and units across the SCQF framework. Mairin is an excellent example of a pupil who's taken advantage of traditional courses, new awards and even studying via the virtual schools programme in her evenings. As a result, she finishes this year with the highest tariff score in the senior phase and is awarded our Attainment Award. Well done Mairin! 🌟
