What we Heard / What we did
Compliments and Complaints
Litter. We had the pupils do litter a pick around the School and Community.
Pupils apologised to the local community for misdemeanors and we were complimented on the chewing gum being removed from the front of the school by the neighborhood environmental team (nets). They were very pleased with the enthusiasm of the pupils, who had raised funds for the gum removal.
General neighbours
Pupils apologised to our neighbours for the litter and some anti- social behaviour ! Our neighbours were then invited to the Awards Ceremony. The pupils also visited with flowers and chocolates.
Pupils were the best dressed – all in full school uniform.
Our excellent SQA Results were commended .
Our pupils were the best prepared and most enthusiastic.
