Easter Study School

We are pleased to be able to offer over the Easter holidays a number of study and revision sessions at N5, Higher and Advanced Higher level. Some sessions are in school and others online, as shown in the attached timetable. These sessions add to the existing national revision resources such as E-Sgoil, Scholar and Clickview / West OS, with pupils being reminded of these through their Teams pages. Pupils should sign up in school with the relevant teacher before Friday 8th April. Please note, the school is not open for general study over the holidays: pupils attending any of these study sessions are under the supervision of the teacher involved, and are expected to vacate the building when finished the session.

Pupils write a warm welcome to young Ukrainians arriving in Edinburgh

Many pupils from all year groups took part in a ‘Words of Welcome’ lunchtime letter-writing session, sending messages of hope, friendship and welcome to 48 young people arriving in the city from Dnipro in Ukraine. These will be displayed in the living areas of the young people’s new homes once they settle in Edinburgh.

Can you speak or write Ukrainian or Russian?           The charity Dnipro Kids is seeking assistance from speakers of Ukrainian and/ or Russian who could volunteer a couple of hours to help with translation and interpretation in the coming months. Please get in touch with Ailsa Stratton via the office or on Ailsa.Stratton@Boroughmuir.edin.sch.uk if you can help.
