Welcome Back!
Mr J Graham, 14 September 2007
Welcome back to another busy Model school year! Hopefully you had a very relaxing summer and return refreshed for the exciting terms ahead.
What has happened since school ended in June? The Full Service Extended School Summer Scheme was very successful and I was privileged to be invited to the awards presentation at the end of the scheme. Exam results were very pleasing too, with the achievements of Nicola McTaggart, Robyn Beattie and Lynsey Harrison putting the icing on the cake!! They were placed in the top 5 out of 1622 candidates, across the whole of the UK sitting AQA A-Level ICT!
I am really looking forward to this new school year when we enter the second year of our Specialist School and Full Service School Programmes and await with great anticipation the performances of our school production "The Sound of Music" next April. Also, we should see the beginning of construction of our new school, just after Christmas, which will give us all a boost as we prepare to move into a purpose-built community learning facility.
Another exciting prospect is our Virtual Learning Environment which will be rolled out this year, allowing far more online interaction throughout the wider school community. This, along with our redesigned website, will be a major benefit to both learning and communication and I hope everyone will make use of this additional resource.
I would like to thank all those involved in these activities and ask everyone to play a positive part in ensuring 2007/2008 is not just as good as the last school year but even more successful and enjoyable.
