On the first day of school, pupils, parents and staff were met with 150 blue balloons tied at various places around the school to mark the beginning of our 150th year. New T-shirts have been designed and every pupil and teacher received one of these shirts as a gift.
We have been back at school now for two weeks. The dust has settled and the timetable is running smoothly. We have about 60 new pupils in the school, so we had a gathering at break time on Friday where new pupils had an opportunity to meet each other and share some snacks and drinks together with the management. It was a wonderful time and pupils were chatting away and interacting with each other and sharing stories. We have 329 pupils in the school, from over 30 different countries including Scotland!
We are all excited to be back and see the changes to the school - the new Jane Walker-Arnott Peace Garden and new entrance area into the Music Room, as well as the enlarged Art Room and the shading area over the basketball court.
On behalf of 427 registered alumni I say Bravo! School looks in great shape, gardens are beautiful, playground looks really cool and so do the uniforms. Have a good year at our favorite school.
