[edit] Redevelopments

The school has gone through several redevelopments recently, including a new school door enhancing disability access and an extension to the music department, making it one of the best in Scotland. It is also currently just one of two schools in the Highland region teaching Drama beyond Standard Grade with two qualified drama teachers.

[edit] Events

Each year the school hosts a successful Highland Games, A Christmas Concert, An Acoustic Spring Concert, and a 'Reach for the Stars' talent show. It also runs a yearly sponsored walk raising money for local charities. As well as that there is the Highland games. First to celebrate the school's 25th bithday, but went on the next year for fun!

[edit] Clubs

There is also a number of different clubs going on in and out of school hours. Whether it's the choirs, drama, sports or even cooking. It definitely helps to keep the pupils and the teachers busy.
