👩🍳 A big thank you to Jenny from Grazey Days for inspiring our S3 Practical Cookery class last week!
Pupils loved hearing about her business journey — and tasting her amazing creations (maple syrup sausage rolls, spicy taco pies, lasagne pies… yes, really!). 🥧
A brilliant session with a wonderfully creative local business owner! 🌟
Our Filmmaking Club had a very busy and exciting week last week! We were thrilled to welcome Drew from Eden Court, who gave us fantastic advice on creating effective horror films. 👻🎞️
We’ve also officially started filming our very first movie! The pupils in the club have been working hard both in front of and behind the camera.
Check out some behind-the-scenes sneak peeks below! 🎬✨

Yesterday, Armistice Day, the school observed a two minute silence The Last Post was played on the trumpet by Daniel Finigan and ending the 2 minutes with the pipes played by Mali MacLennan a rendition of Flowers of the Forest alongside our school vice captains Robbie, Charlie and Alice.
Yesterday senior pupils from our Geography Department took part in the Mock COP30 event held in the Council Chambers, coinciding with the real COP30 taking place this week in Brazil. Representing Indigenous Peoples, our pupils made thoughtful and well-informed contributions to the discussions. It was inspiring to see so many young people from across the Highlands engaging seriously with global climate issues and the challenges of international negotiation.

Our school captains, Elle and Alastair, joined Mr Adamson in attending two Remembrance Services over the past three days. On Sunday, they laid a wreath at the Inverness War Memorial, and today they honoured the occasion once again at Midmills — the original home of Inverness Royal Academy. We commend Elle and Alastair for representing our school with such respect and dignity, and we thank all pupils who observed the two minutes’ silence in remembrance today.
Lest we forget.
The next parent council meeting will take place on Tuesday 18th November 2025 at 7pm
