ECO SCHOOLS
As our Eco Schools group and Rural Skills classes are starting to plant trees in an area of our school grounds, we decided to get some ideas of how pupils want this are to look, and what they would like to see in it. Some of our S1 art classes have done some great designs for this, and this week these will be displayed so that pupils will vote for the ones they like best! There are some really good ideas!
PUPIL COUNCIL
This week our pupil council for the High School had a meeting with the pupil council representatives from the primary schools in the area – these are: Merkinch Primary, Dalneigh Primary, Central Primary, St Joseph’s Primary and Bishop Eden’s Primary. The meeting was held at the High School, and the groups enjoyed meeting each other and finding out a bit more about what each pupil council does.
Our pupil council will start working with MP33 next week to produce a DVD which will be shown to P7’s who are coming up to the High School next year. The DVD will have interviews with staff and pupils, as well as showing new pupils what the High School is like! We are looking forward to seeing the final product!

News from the High School Prefects
S2 LEADERSHIP GROUP – PHONE RECYLCLING CAMPAIGN
The S2 Leadership group have registered the school with a company called ‘Envirostudents’, which works with schools to help them raise money by recycling old mobile phones. The S2 Leadership group need everyone to get involved and help them raise lots of money, which they will then use to buy equipment for their radio show! It is very simple – you sell your old mobile phone on the website - www.invernesshighschool.envirostudents.com
and you receive the value of the phone. Envirostudents then donates £3.00 per phone to the High School. Once you have registered (for FREE) on the website above, you will be sent a free post envelope so you can send your phone to Envirostudents for FREE. They will then give you your money, and the donation to the school, within 7 days! So if you have any old phones lying around now that you have a better one, why not see if you can make some money, for yourself and the school at the same time!
ECO SCHOOLS
This week, our Eco Schools committee is going to visit Alness Academy, to find out what their Eco Schools group is up to! It will be good to see what different schools are doing, and hopefully they will come back and visit us to see what we’re up to!
The group is starting to plant a new area in the school grounds on Friday with hedges and trees. Some S1 pupil are also designing the new area as an art project, and have come up with some really good ideas for how it should look!
