For the first time GHS have a gymnastic team entering Gymfest, which is a festival of gymnastics in which schools from all over Scotland will take part. The team will be travelling to Perth on Saturday morning and performing in the afternoon which will allow us time to watch some of the other teams.

Attendance
This week you will hopefully have been told by your group tutor what percentage your attendance is at and how many Lates you have accumulated. Well done to those who have attendance figures over 95% and are in the green zone. Special congratulations to those with 100%
Could you please start preparing now to be part of this plan – it’s really easy! We can ALL make an effort to be in school for the start of the new timetable on Monday 1 June.
Just imagine how good it would be if everyone was in school that day and we set an attendance record! You need to do your bit! Obviously we then just need to keep it going!
