Self Harm

This session will hopefully increase parents and carers understanding about Self Harm and offer some practical ways they can help young people who may consider or display self-harming behaviour.  

The session will be facilitated by Lucia Romeou Somma from the Penumbra Edinburgh Self Harm Project. Lucia provides information, advice and support to parents and family members of young people who self-harm and has lived experience of self-harm and recovery.

All S1 & S2 parents should by now have received a letter inviting them to come back to school for a day on 29^th May.  This will be our third “Parent Class” who have joined us for a day back at school. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive about the experience.  Thanks for all the responses so far, please keep them coming and we are looking forward to meeting you all on Monday 29^th May.  J Presly

Here is a link to footage of our whole school photo being taken on Thursday 20^th April.

It was a fabulous event as I’m sure you’ll see.

We wait in anticipation for the finished professional photograph!!

The transition from old to new school took a major step during the Easter break. Our War Memorial so well known to all connected with Boroughmuir was removed and placed in storage ready for installation in the Assembly Hall of the new school. We are delighted that such a unique piece of history commemorating those staff and pupils who made the ultimate sacrifice, will travel with us and be part of the school for future generations.

This was a National Competition organised by the Rotary Foundation UK.

BHS sent 3 teams of 4 students: Junior S2, Intemediate S4, and Advanced S5/6.

The team of four students had to solve a design and technology based task which they know nothing about until the day of the event. Each team is required to design, develop, build and then test their solution to the task from the materials supplied.

The day culminated in a testing session when teams demonstrated their best solution to the task and can observe the efforts of competing teams.

Engineering experts were on hand to offer advice. The tournament was judged by Rotarians and guests with backgrounds in engineering, technology and design.

The junior S2 team from BHS were winners in the section
