At the last session on March 10, over 40 boys and girls took part. A further session will be held this Saturday (March 24) from 10am to 1pm in Brechin High School.

The winner in the Junior Class was Ciaran Ryan, while his sister Megan Ryan won the Intermediate Class. Sarah Hampton won the Senior Class, and Lynsey Merchant was named the overall winner.
Cross Country
Congratulations to Michael Taylor in S6 for winning the Senior Event at the recent Angus Schools Cross Country event at Monikie Country Park.
Tesco Computers for Schools vouchers
The school is collecting for a PC and appreciates all the vouchers that have already been handed in. The collection box is in the library but vouchers may also be left at reception.
Angus Book Award
The author visiting the school this year, as part of the award, is Sue Mayfield. The book "Damage" is a disturbingly realistic novel, which exposes the raw emotional wounds of those who are scarred by the events of one winter night. The ceremony takes place in Arbroath High School on Tuesday, May 15. The short listed books for the Children's Book Award are now available from the learning resource centre. Volunteers are needed to read these books (total of three) and then vote for their favourite. Pupils should see Mrs Downie if they need more information.
