Celebrating Success! A new web-focus at Broughton
Our pupils’ (and teachers’) successes keep piling up! To keep track of it all, the school have launched a new page within the website, called ‘Celebrating Success’. Have a look. It’s exciting reading.
competition climbing success at Ratho
More good news from the athletics front. William Bosi, 1N1, qualified last week at the Ratho climbing centre to represent Scotland at ‘Indoor Climbing by Lead’. That puts him into lofty heights indeed. Over the next few months he will be competing in France and Austria, at the European Youth Cup Championships, and in Singapore, for the World Cup Championships. We wish him luck!
a pair of student time-management tools from the SQA …
… and they’re available as free apps in the Apple store!
One is ‘My Exams’, the SQA’s personal timetable builder, that gives the dates and times of your exams.
The other is ‘My Study Plan’, which designs your most efficient revision schedule, based on your exam timetable.
music and figure skating — Broughton in the news twice this week!
High praise in the press for Joanna MacGregor’s concert at Broughton. The Edinburgh Guide’s review calls the music school ‘impressive’, and Joanna herself comments herself on the professionalism of the young people who met her on the afternoon of the performance.
And our own Mr Bosphore is just back from the British Adult Figure Skating Championships — where he won the bronze medal in the class 1 men’s single division! Pictures here.
Curriculum for Excellence in practical use
Here is a very interesting short film, shot in a local school, that shows how the Curriculum for Excellence initiative can look in a classroom setting. It’s good viewing for parents who want to deepen their understanding of the rationale behind the undertaking now well under way.
