No, you weren’t seeing things last Wednesday! Our S2 pupils enjoyed a fantastic hands-on day of learning at our very own Food Festival 2025 ![]()

In partnership with RHET and supported by DYW, pupils explored everything from cooking local food with Highland chefs to discovering how farming, machinery, and nature all connect to what’s on our plates.
A huge thank you to Fran Matheson who coordinated the event on behalf of RHET Highland, our very own Miss Macdonald, DYW and all our partners — including NHS Highland Public Health, Quality Meat Scotland, Highland Council Catering Services, Loch Ness Rural Communities, and many more - for helping our young people learn about local and seasonal food, food miles, and the world of agriculture. ![]()

School will be closed all day, due to a leak.
The Foyers and Whitebridge buses will return to the school for pick up at 9.15am. Farr pupils should get on the Whitebridge bus and Dores pupils should get on the Foyers bus. Sneckie Taxis are still to confirm pick up details/times but have said pupils will be dropped off where they are normally picked up from.
Any pupils who have already come to school will be sent home.

On the 10th of September three groups set out on their Gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition. The route used was the Affric-Kintail way with one group heading East and the other two heading West. This was a challenging route with sections of rough terrain and days of up to 20km. The groups endured heavy squally showers during the day and had to cope with near constant overnight rain on Thursday. All of the group members should be proud of their resilience and spirit ![]()

S3 pupils will be starting their Scottish National Standardised Assessment next week. A description of SNSA for parents and a version for pupils can be found in the links below. These are sat on Chromebooks so it is REALLY important that S3 pupils come to school with these fully charged each day. The assessments will take place on Monday to Wednesday during timetabled Maths and English lessons. These will be sat in class with the normal classroom teacher for those periods.

he NHS Highland Health Improvement team/ Planet Youth are running our second 'Small Group Learning session for Parents and Carers' this Thursday from 6.30 to 8pm. These are relaxed, informal, conversational sessions where we discuss some of the issues affecting the health and wellbeing of young people at the moment.
The session this week will cover 'Young People, relationships and the online world.
In this session we will discuss:
• Negative and positive impacts of the online world on children’s attitudes towards relationships, sex and sexuality.
• Understand the law and safeguards that protect children and young people online.
• Give examples of how we can minimise the negative effects of the online world on beliefs around relationships, sex and sexuality.
