Covid Reminder
Your child should not report to school if they or any member of your household, or someone they have been in direct contact with have any of these symptoms:
The most common symptoms are new:
- continuous cough
- fever/high temperature (37.8C or greater)
- loss of, or change in, sense of smell or taste
CHRISTMAS CONCERT 2020
Due to covid restrictions, we will not be able to run our normal Christmas Concert. The music department have therefore organised a virtual concert, which will be uploaded to Youtube on Monday 16th December. They have set up a Just Giving page for donations to Ronald McDonald House, which is the charity they normally support through Carol Singing. Any donations are welcome.

NATIONAL 5 ASSESSMENTS
During the month of December, class tests will run in National 5 classes, both S4 and S5. These do not take the format of the normal prelim diet and therefore there is no published calendar. The tests will run during class time, although some classes might be extended to give extra time for papers. Class teachers will let pupils know when their tests are taking place. Therefore, pupils will follow their normal school timetable and carry on with learning in their classes. Mrs Prentice has linked with departments to try and ensure the tests are spaced out over the month so that pupils don’t have lots of assessment in one day.
Have a lovely St. Andrew’s weekend!
