Fernhill School

Class of 2026… your leavers’ hoodies have arrived! 🎉💙

You can collect them from Mr Gillespie’s room when you’re next in school. We hope they become a special reminder of friendships, memories, laughter and everything that made your time at Fernhill unique.

Wear them proudly. Once Fernhill, always Fernhill. 💫

As we come to the end of a truly special chapter, we invite our Fernhill family, past and present, to join us for a Mass of Thanksgiving. This will be a time to reflect, give thanks, and celebrate the many years of friendship, learning and community that have meant so much to us all.

Monday 15 June, 7pm
St Columbkille's Church

All are very welcome as we gather together one final time 💛

Team Fernhill took on the Kiltwalk with determination, heart and a real sense of purpose, and together we are proud to have raised £4540 for Brain Tumour Research. Every step was for something bigger than ourselves, driven by hope, resilience and the belief that change is possible.

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated, supported and cheered us on along the way. Your kindness and generosity made this possible, and it truly means more than words can say.

As we move closer to the end of our time here at Fernhill School, we warmly invite you to attend our Alumni Event. Whether you were a former pupil, teacher, parent, or have close ties to the school, we would love to see you.

Join us on 13 May, 4–6pm, to reminisce, view classrooms, wander around and reconnect. Light refreshments will be provided. Please complete the sign-up form https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/sPBV5RRWPS

With thanks to our wonderful PTA for organising.

Wishing all our Fernhill Senior pupils the very best of luck as your SQA exams begin tomorrow, with Spanish first up. This is a unique and emotional year for us, as it is the last time we take pride in presenting you as Fernhill pupils.

May the Holy Spirit watch over you, guide your minds, and give you courage.

Hold onto our four C’s! The power of courage, commitment and confidence, and the compassion we show for one another.

We are so proud of you all 🙏

On this Good Friday, we pause as a Fernhill family to reflect and give thanks. As we share our final Easter blessings together here, we are reminded that our true blessing is not the place, but the people, the kindness, faith, and care we have shared.

May that spirit stay with us always 🙏

We would definitely eat in your delicious restaurants girls. Well done et bravo! Some excellent menus to choose from!

We were delighted to welcome Bishop Toal to celebrate Mass with our school community today. A special intention was offered for all our pupils preparing for and sitting exams. Bishop Toal also spent some time chatting with staff afterwards. It was a wonderful way to start Holy Week within the school!

When concepts come to life! Some N5 pupils enjoyed an evening at the Royal Concert Hall last night being inspired by incredible musicians. The highlight was an amazing performance of Rhapsody in Blue featuring the young blind pianist, Ethan Loch. Truly inspirational! Following on from our visit to the RCS opera showcase in January, the pupils also enjoyed Ravel's one act opera l'enfant et les sortileges. So entertaining and magical to watch. A wonderful evening of music for our pupils to enjoy!
