Senior Prizegiving Event: At our recent prizegiving event The Nathan Murray Collier Cup was awarded to Nathan McKinlay (S5). This award is in memory of Nathan Murray Collier, a sixth year pupil at Stirling High School who tragically lost his life in 2005. It is awarded to a pupil who works with the Additional Support Needs Department and has shown considerable effort over the past year. Nathan (below) has also worked extensively with the ASN transition groups helping new pupils prepare for the move to Stirling High School. The Murray Collier family also awarded Nathan a gift voucher. Many congratulations to Nathan.

European Day of Languages: This year the ML department and Confucius Hub will be celebrating European Day of Languages with all S1 classes tomorrow (Thursday). We have organised for 1D3, 1R1, 1R2 and 1S1 to be present during periods 1-3 and 1D1, 1S2 and 1D2 to be present during periods 4-6.

S1 & S3 Photo Orders: Today is that last day that photo order forms can be handed into the school office. Please do this by 3pm today at the latest.

Pupil Reports at Stirling High School: A letter was sent home via school bag mail last Friday to all parents/ carers explaining the new process for reporting this academic year. This letter is also available online in our digital schoolbag.

Lost Property: There is a huge amount of lost property again, mainly blazers. Any pupil who has lost their blazer please come to the school office at breaktime, lunchtime or at the end of the school day. It would be most helpful if blazers could be marked with pupil’s name in order that we can reunite them with their owner. Your help with this would be much appreciated. leaders of learning which in turn encourages the children themselves to take a lead role in leading initiatives within Riverside Primary.”

The award celebrates and recognises schools and learning communities, which promote, support and lead professional learning, which has a significant and sustained impact on teachers, classroom practice and pupil learning.

Stirling Council children and young people committee convener and Stirling North SNP councillor Susan McGill, said:“The staff at all levels have shown a real commitment to professional learning and improvement, which has been shared and embraced by the wider school community, and this will ensure the children are well positioned to achieve their potential.”

Stirling North Conservative councillor Ross Oxburgh said:“The staff and school do thoroughly deserve this ward.

It is one thing to strive to improve standards but it’s also really difficult to maintain that high quality once you get there and everyone at this school have done that consistently.”
