Middle School in Cedars |
Residential tripsOur residential trips are a highlight for Middle School pupils. Past trips for Middle School have included York, London, Paris, Aviemore, Compass, Edinburgh and London.
This year, pupils in P6 and P7 are going to Compass Christian Centre for a week of outdoor activities and challenges. We have been taking pupils to Compass, in the Cairngorms, for over 15 years - it is always a trip that former pupils will speak of as a real highlight of their school experience. Questions regarding this year's Compass trip should be directed to Miss Black. Pupils in S1 and S2 are going to York for four days of cultural and historic visits, and outdoor challenges. The York trip is always popular - York is a charming historic city and a beautiful place to explore. Questions regarding this year's York trip should be directed to Miss Rukin. Extra CurricularWe currently have the following clubs for pupils in S1 - S6:
Lighthouse Choir, Tuesdays 3.20 - 4.15pm Debate Club, Wednesday lunchtimes Creative Writing Club, Wednesdays 3.20 - 4.30pm Chess Club, Friday lunchtimes Our pupils are encouraged to run Clubs to share their interests with others. We find that each year, different clubs and activities are on offer, reflecting the interests of the pupil body. Stepping Stones S1 - S4Stepping Stones takes place every Wednesday afternoon, for all pupils in S1 - S4. It forms a core part of our approach to ensuring a well rounded education in the Secondary School. These afternoons combine visits from guest speakers, links with Skills Development Scotland, input from a variety of staff, and off site visits, to enable pupils to develop the skills and knowledge they need to take personal responsibility for leading a purposeful, compassionate, healthy life. In our first term, we have visits from recent school leavers to speak about their post - school pathways, and we organise an outdoor learning afternoon, promoting positive choices for physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
