🏃🏻Here are some of our pupils who recently competed at the North of Scotland Athletics Championships. They had great success and won individual medals for Gold, Silver and Bronze!
Well done to all of you who participated, you were a credit to the school! 
Message from the Highland Council - Special Diet Requests for New Academic Year for parents of new nursery, P1 and S1 pupils who require adaptations to school lunches due to
• Allergies or intolerances
• Medical conditions such as diabetes, Coeliac disease, Cystic Fibrosis etc
• Neurodiverse requirements or additional support needs (e.g. ARFID, autistic spectrum)
• Ethical or religious reasons (Vegan, Halal etc)
Please can we get your request for a special diet as soon as possible using the online portal link with generic instructions below. We can process these over the school holidays. If you leave this until the start of the school year, this will lead to considerable delays in processing your request.
Online Portal - click on the ‘request a special diet for a pupil’ box, parents/carers can progress without an account. If you do not have your child’s SCN number you can proceed without it. Complete and submit the form to come to the special diet team to be approved. The information is then communicated to the catering, EY and education staff where appropriate as well as the relevant special diet menu sent to parents if needed.
Pupils who have an existing special diet request in place do not need to submit a new form unless there are changes to their existing requirements.
Bothy & Core Gardeners and Cyclist Summer Outing 
Last Friday, pupils who usually take part in the Bothy/Core Gardening & Cycling groups throughout the year, got together and went for a summer outing to Whin Park! 
They all had great fun and enjoyed all the new equipment that has been installed at the park lately.

Some of our S2 and S3 GME pupils recently took part in a football tournament against Gaelic medium pupils from other schools. Both teams played well, with the S3s reaching the semi-finals.

Chaidh cuid de na balaich bho ÀS2 Gàidhlig air turas campachaidh Diardaoin agus Dihaoine le Spòrs Gàidhlig. Dh’ionnsaich iad sgìlean ùra agus fhuair iad cothrom an cuid Gàidhlig a’ cleachdadh ann an suidheachadh diofraichte bhon àbhaist – rud a tha deatamach nuair a tha thu ag amas air fileantachd. Chòrd am bothan agus na teantaichean riutha gu mòr! Tha sinn gu math taingeil do Chomunn na Gàidhlig airson ar cuideachadh le maoineachadh. Abair cothrom!
A group of pupils from S2 Gàidhlig headed out on a walking and camping adventure on Thursday with Spòrs Gàidhlig. We managed to avoid the worst of the weather and made the most of camping near a very substantial bothy. The boys learnt new skills and were able to use Gaelic in a different setting from the classroom, something that is recognised as essential for reaching true fluency in any language. Thanks for Comunn na Gàidhlig for their help with funding this trip.
See our Gaelic department blog for some more photos of the adventure.
Our Bronze DofE Group have also been presented with their certificates! Congratulations to each of you - well done! 
What a wonderful morning our Advanced Higher Art pupils had at Wasps Studios / Inverness Creative Academy with Craig Ellis and Ray Downie from Gray's School of Art Aberdeen. After looking through examples of work from 1st year Art School students, some of our senior artists and designers took part in a Screen Printing workshop.
Loads of creativity, problem solving skills and technical ability demonstrated as they created their own cut paper stencils and produced a unique print!
An intense and highly creative morning which will give our artists and designers a lot to reflect on and refer back to as they continue to develop their portfolio work 
We are so grateful for the hospitality and generosity of Gray’s School of Art and the unique opportunities they have provided for our students once again! We were also delighted to be joined by talented artists and designers from Charleston Academy 
🎉 A huge well done to our group of S2 pupils who organised their very own mock careers fair! With support from the English Department, DYW (Developing the Young Workforce), Art, and the Home Economics Department, they pulled off a fantastic event full of creativity.
Pupils researched careers that interested them, created displays and designed interactive tasks and activities to engage visitors at their stands. Local employers were invited in to offer the pupils support, and all S2 and S3 pupils had the chance to visit the fair.
Our talented photography team acted as roving paparazzi 📸 A special shout-out to the Practical Cookery class for preparing delicious treats to serve our guests. 🍰
Thanks to everyone who took part and helped make this such a successful and inspiring event!
Congratulations to our Silver DofE Group who have been presented with their certificates! Well done to each of you, for all your hard work and commitment
Our Higher Business class had a fantastic opportunity to hear from Mia from Morrison Construction, who delivered an inspiring and informative talk on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Mia shared real-life insights into what CSR looks like in practise, how it impacts communities and businesses, and what her role involves day-to-day. It was a brilliant way for pupils to connect classroom learning with real-world experience.
A big thank you to our Developing the Young Workforce Inverness & Central Highland School Coordinator, Gillian Denovan for organising this visit.
Katie Young, S4 had major success in the WUKF Scottish Karate Championships held in Dundee on Saturday 31st May 2025.
Katie was competing in both her age group (14 to 15yrs) and the age group above (16 to 17yrs) which resulted in her claiming a total of 6 medals!!
Katie has shown great dedication to the sport and spends hours of practice and training - well done Katie, an amazing achievement!
Day 5 – Earthquakes, Lava & Vikings!
Our final full day in Iceland was packed with geothermal wonders, underground adventures, and a touch of Viking flair.
We started in the steamy town of Hveragerði, where we visited the Earthquake House and experienced what a real earthquake feels like on the simulator.
Next, we visited a geothermal tomato greenhouse and got to try some tomato flavoured ice cream! 
Then we relaxed at the Secret Lagoon, one of Iceland’s oldest swimming hot springs – the perfect place to soak up some geothermal goodness. 
From there, we descended into the Lava Tunnel, an incredible ancient lava tube formed thousands of years ago. At one point the guide turned off the lights, plunging us into total darkness.
To finish the day, we returned to Reykjavík for some well-earned free time exploring the capital’s sights, shops, and souvenirs.
We spent our final night in style – at a Viking-themed hotel complete with longhouses and Viking style banquet.
