Photographs
Thank you to all pupils who made that extra effort to appear in full uniform for the photo-taking opportunity on Wednesday. The senior group photos will look very good and it is expected that a number of parents will be very pleased with the individual photos which should arrive in school sometime next week.
'Graeme High Has Talent'
Never mind Britain's Got Talent! Pupils are invited to come and try out for Graeme’s very own version of the popular talent contest. Auditions will be held at lunchtime starting on Thursday next week. It is possible to sign up for an audition with the Prefects in the Social Space at lunchtime. Successful acts will compete in our Graeme High Has Got Talent show in November. Remember this is a variety talent contest not just a singing competition!
Football
Mr Paton’s Senior Boys’ football team saw their interest in the Scottish Cup competition disappear at the hands of Bannerman High School last week. Despite scores by Rohan Hamilton and Jamie Colson, the Glasgow side went on to win by three goals to two.
