Mintlaw Academy HWB

Congratulations to our junior team on a fantastic achievement in winning their final game against Ellon with a commanding scoreline of 27–9. Your hard work, teamwork, and determination were clear to see, and it was a brilliant way to finish the season. We also want to recognise both our junior and senior netball teams for their outstanding performances in the Aberdeenshire school leagues, where both teams secured an impressive 2nd place, narrowly missing out on the top spot by just a few goals. Throughout the season, your conduct, attitude, and effort have been exceptional, and you have all been fantastic ambassadors for Mintlaw Academy. Well done to everyone involved!
