Cheerio

Very sad to be saying cheerio to our wonderful S6 pupil library assistants - you'll be very missed in the library! Best of luck for the future.

EIBF Launch

We attended the launch of the Edinburgh International Book Festival tonight and there is an amazing list of authors featuring in the Schools Programme this year. 

Mrs L. was also very happy to meet Maisie Chen, author of Lizzie Chu Keep Dancing and Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths.
