Please see our presentation from last night's S2 into S3 Course Choice Parents' Information Evening.
On Tuesday we hosted a series of Girls into Physics and Engineering Workshops. Pupils from our school were joined by girls from Millburn and Alness - nearly 60 pupils in total! These workshops were designed to highlight various applications of physics and engineering and was all organised by the Institute of Physics to encourage more girls to take up opportunities in Physics, Engineering and generally STEM. Presenters and demonstrators came from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Strathclyde and Dundee Universities. Activities included structural design, particle physics, ultrasound, polarisation and light. It is hoped that this event will be staged here again next year.
Well done and thank you to everyone involved! ๐๐ป
A reminder that there is a S2 Course Choice Parents' Information Evening on tonight from 6pm - 7pm in the school. No booking is necessary.

Good luck with the SPAR cup!
