Drama Exams
Pupils are reminded that the N5 Practical Drama exams are next Wednesday, (18th March).
These exams take place in the Drama Studio and Drama Classroom (Art corridor). Please be extremely quiet as you pass these areas on Wednesday so that the exam is not disturbed.
Mrs Whyte
Modern Languages
It
is that time of year again for N5 and Higher Modern Languages SQA Speaking
Exams. All pupils involved should be preparing thoroughly at home, in GASS and
in lessons for those important exams. Those
marks go to your final grades so it is very important that you achieve the
highest score possible. If you do not prepare for those exams you risk
getting a weaker overall score in August and you may not reach your Target
Grade! So, get revising! Bon courage! Los!”
