Purple Friday 2020

A big thank you to everyone involved in the Purple Friday Celebrations.  It was a huge success with so many people getting their nails painted or getting a temporary tattoo.  This year we raised £60, £10 more than last year.  Well done to the LGBT group for their hard work and dedication to ensure that Purple Friday 2020 was such a success.

S1 Outward Bound Update

A reminder that all S1 pupils going on Outward Bound should have now paid their second instalment of £30.  If your parents or carers have still to do this then they should do so as soon as possible.  If you have any questions or issues about payment, then please see Mr Wyllie as soon as possible.

Lateness Strategy 2020

Punctuality is vital to getting a good start to the day and being successful.

If you are late 2x in the week without a plausible reason and your parent/ carer has not contacted the school, then you will receive a 10 mins detention at the start of lunch in PSE 2. in School.

If you do not turn up, then it will be carried forward to the next lunch for 15 mins. If you fail to attend this your guidance teacher will make contact with home and follow up.

Pupil Absence

A gentle reminder, if your child is absent from school please call the office on 0131-664-7440 or reply to the absence text with the reason your child is absent.
