Hong
Kong Scotland Schools Improvement Partnership – S4/S5 pupils
Gracemount High School has been given the opportunity to be part
of an exciting partnership with a school in Hong Kong. This partnership
initiative already involves around 7 other schools in Edinburgh, and we would
be joining this fantastic group.
We have been paired with Wong Shiu Chi Secondary School, and our
aim is to develop a long-term relationship with this school.
S4/5 pupils
We are looking for S5 pupils initially but potentially S4 pupils
also, who would be able to host pupils coming over to Edinburgh from Hong Kong
in November 2019. This would then lead to a visit to the school in Hong
Kong September 2020.
Please contact Miss Davies for further information.

First
Minister's Reading Challenge
Once again, we are taking part in the First Ministers Reading
Challenge. Our aim is to make Gracemount a Reading School. The first challenge this year is for S1-S3
pupils. Each English teacher has a chart in their room. Every
time one of their pupils has finished reading a book, they will mark it
down on the chart. There will be extra challenges along the way.
There will be a reward for the classes of the teacher who have read the most
books. The initial challenge will run till the October break.
