ATTENDANCE MATTERS

We posted about attendance last month and again now because we believe every day at school matters. Strong attendance helps pupils to develop the skills and knowledge they need to achieve their full potential.

Missing even a small amount of school can have a significant impact on learning over time. By attending regularly and arriving on time, pupils are better able to keep up with lessons, develop positive routines, and make the most of every opportunity available to them.

We know there are times when ill health and other issues prevent attendance at school and we are sympathetic to this. We are keen to work with you to overcome barriers to attendance. Please contact your child’s Guidance teacher if you wish to discuss any aspect of your child’s attendance.

💡Funding opportunity

Did you know that Highland Council administers a number of trust funds and bursaries to support young people access opportunities in education, music, culture, sport and travel?

Last week an update on the contribution that these trust funds are making to Gaelic education and cultural activity was made to Highland Council's Gaelic Committee.

FOOTBALL FEVER AND SCOTLAND SHENANIGANS!

Scotland outfits and a beat the goalie competition at break time resulted in a great buzz throughout the school today.

Well done to everyone for entering into the spirit of things in wonderful ways!

Special shoutout to Ben Gunn who won the beat the goalie competition amid fierce competition with almost 100 pupils and Mr Scott- Woodhouse giving it their all.

Mr MacPherson and Mr Murphy were safe hands today, mostly!

P7 TRANSITION

Thanks to all who attended our P7 Transition Event this evening. We hope it was informative and reassuring for you, and that any questions/queries you may have had were addressed.

Special thanks to our pupils who acted as guides on the school tours.

We look forward now to our transition days later this month, and to P7 pupils joining us in August as our new S1s.
