Transitus to S3 pupils enjoyed a memorable and fun-filled Activities Week in May.
From exciting trips to Aberfoyle, New Lanark, Dundonald Castle and Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, to fascinating in-school pursuits that included graffiti workshops, Lego design, comics and cartooning, there truly was something for everyone during this incredibly enriching week!
What a wonderful way to head in to the final few weeks of the session.

J4 Sustainability Social Event
Junior 4 hosted a ‘Sustainability Social’ event for their families in April.
Pupils put on an assembly about ‘Protecting the Planet’, while families visited their exhibition, showcasing eyecatching displays, letters, posters and infographics on issues including plastic pollution, food miles and sustainable fashion. Guests visited the ‘Forest of Promises’, where they had the opportunity to make a commitment towards positive change for the future of our planet.
Well done to all in Junior 4 on an inspirational and informative day, helping us to learn more about ways in which we can all do our part to protect planet Earth!
Coronation Treat!
High School pupils marked the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla in May.
Junior School pupils joined in with the national celebrations by donning their crowns for the King and Queen. They had great fun as they enjoyed the chance to dress up in their finest party clothes for a tasty Coronation Lunch and special assembly.
School Captain, Ritvik (pictured below) delivered one of the readings at Glasgow’s Coronation Service of Thanksgiving, taking place at Glasgow Cathedral on Sunday 7th May, a tremendous honour for both Ritvik and the School.
