S1 Netball Team makes Scottish Cup Final

A big congratulations to the S1 Netball Team for being the first team from the school to make a Scottish Cup Final. We are all delighted for you! To make the final the girls had 3 tough games against Holyrood (Edinburgh), St Andrews from Paisley and in the Semi Finals Dumfries Academy. The game against St Andrews in the quarter final was particularly close with just two goals in it. The girls had a great first half but St Andrews made it a real battle in the 2nd and we just managed to scrape it in the end. The team now play Monifieth in the final on Thursday 21st March. Good luck girls:

SGG Cross-Country Date Confirmed

Thursday 14th February (valentines day, because we all love Cross-Country) is the date for this year's school cross-country championships. The race is for all S1-3 pupils, this is what all your training in class has been for! Any S4-6 pupils are of course welcome to sign up too. The girl's race will take place period 1 and the boy's race period 2, both races will run all year groups at the same time so you will be able to see how you get on against older or younger competitors. The race will be 2.5km long (approx) and there will be medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd finishers in each of the year groups. We recommend that for the race you come to school wearing your PE kit. You will have time to get changed into school uniform after the race. It's important you come prepared as best you can for the conditions, that includes: PE Kit, warm clothes and/or waterproofs, old trainers or spikes to wear during the event, towel, carrier bag for your kit after the event and a spare PE kit if you have PE again that day. Good luck to all the pupils for the big day!
