On Monday of last week we held our first Health & Wellbeing Day. S1-3 pupils and staff enjoyed a day of healthy activities such as golf, zumba, motorcycle maintenance and many more, as well as having the chance to meet with visiting health professionals who set up information stands in the school’s Dance Studio and canteen area. Our talented Home Economics teachers, Miss Swanson and Mrs Manson prepared a beautiful buffet of healthy foods for pupils at lunchtime and, if the lengthy queues were any indication of the quality of what was on offer, the pupils ate very well indeed!

The day was a great success with 97% of 217 pupils stating, in a survey on the event, that they hope the school will do it again next year. 94% said that they enjoyed the day while 64% of the pupils surveyed said that the event made them more aware of their own Health & Wellbeing.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the visitors and local community groups who made our day possible and we look forward to building upon it in the future.
