Christmas Advent Calendar
We were fortunate to be granted funding from the Siobhan Dowd Trust to enable us to purchase books to create our very own Advent Calendar. Students were very excited to open (and borrow) the books each day, as you can see from the photos!

Hour of Code
This week is Computer Science Education Week and we're celebrating this with an Hour of Code. Our computer experts will only be able to code on the desktops, no other games this week!
Click here: Hour of Code
Update: Thank you to everyone who participated in our coding week, and well done to our 3 competition winners. It was very difficult to judge but fortunately some of our Advanced Higher Computing students stepped in to help judge. Congratulations to our overall winner, Ian who created an excellent Etch a Sketch design.
