Senior school assembly

I took a senior school assembly today on 'Going for Gold' The title was apt given the announcement about the 2014 Commonwealth Games from Glasgow last Friday. I firmly believe that many of our talented pupils will be representing their country in Glasgow in 2014. I am really pleased to see that around 40 of our S6 pupils are currently in the process of applying for University courses. This compares favourably with the number 19 who applied in 2005. With the support of all our parents I am confident that more and more of our pupils will be applying for university courses in the future. We must all work together in building up our pupils' confidence and levels of expectation if we are to achieve gold.
