Arrangements for the three-day visit in June 2025 and information for pupils starting S1 at Boroughmuir High School in August 2025.

Thank you,

All Nat 5 and Higher pupils’ Art & Design SQA units, along with a selection of artwork from Photography and Advanced Higher, will be on display in the Showcase exhibition in the Art corridor on Thursday after school. The parent council will be providing refreshments.

You are invited to pop along and celebrate our pupils’ excellent work this year before it goes off the SQA for assessment.

This Thursday, Art Corridor, 4.30 – 6.30pm.

The main pieces of information that you need to help you with your assessments are posted on Teams. You have done this before, so you know what to expect.

Remember:

• These are practice assessments. You want to do your best, and then find out where your mistakes were so you can do better in the summer.
• You will be a bit nervous. This is normal and everyone feels that way. Generally the best way to deal with this is to try it out, ask for help and fix things.
• There are lots of instructions below for two reasons. Firstly, to make it feel exactly like real exams so you can learn to manage them. Secondly, because there are lots of people working to help you.
• Ask if you need help: your teachers, guidance, Mr Hayes, Mr Arricibita and Ms Hall for additional arrangements, the school office, the exam invigilators, and support for learning staff are all here to make things easier for you.
• All the information you need to know about qualifications is here Your coursework – SQA

Well done for all your hard work so far!
