War Memorial on the move

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.

ARTiculation Final

2 two members of S6 were competing in  the ARTiculation final at Stirling University on Tuesday. The overall standard of presentations was excellent and both girls did the school proud. They spoke with passion and a deep knowledge of their chosen pieces of art. The judges were so impressed that they gave 3rd prize to Laura Morrison and 1st place the Anya Foxworthy-Bowers! Boroughmuir are now ARTiculation Scottish Champions!

 Although not a lot of people have heard of the competition, in the art world it is something of a big deal. In fact over 5,000 entrants were recorded across the UK this year and to be winners in Scotland is a brilliant achievement. Well done to both girls – they were fantastic.
