FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL PREFECTS

ECO SCHOOLS

Paul Cortopassi who works for Eco Schools in Scotland came to the High School on Wednesday to talk to our S1 and 2 pupils about how to get involved in Eco Schools, and why it is so important. It was great to have him along to the school, and he gave us all a lot to think about!

PUPIL COUNCIL

Our pupil council were filming over 2 days this week, with help from Gus MacIver from MP33, who came to the High School with cameras and lots of expertise! The pupils really enjoyed the filming, and will start the editing process next week at MP33, to make the footage into a short DVD to which will be used to tell P7 pupils all about what to expect from the High School when they come up into S1.

OXFAM SAFE WATER CAMPAIGN

The pupils from room 5 have been working hard to collect and count the money raised from collecting 1 and 2 pences. The campaign is now finished, with a grand total of £121 raised, which is a fantastic achievement. Any money collected after this will be put towards the money raised for Comic Relief next week.

COMIC RELIEF

Friday 13th of March is Comic Relief 2009, and our Community Involvement classes, along with the S2 leadership group have been coming up with lots of ideas to get everyone involved! As well as selling red noses, we are having a ‘wear your pyjamas to school day’, a ‘gunge the teacher’ and a ‘guess the baby photo’ competition, as well as coffee and red nose cakes for the staff. It sounds like a good day, and hopefully we will raise lots of money too!

REAL PROJECT

5 of the pupils involved in the REAL Project went along to the HISEZ (Highlands and Islands Social Enterprise Zone) Annual Conference in Aviemmore this week, and ran the exhibit for the project. They were the only young people at the conference, but definitely held their own and did the school and the project proud, as well as really enjoying themselves. The pupils involved were: Debbie MacGillivray, Tyler MacKenzie, James Cooper and Eyah Meneses from S2, and Ali Sloggie from S3.
