Headteacher Gill Bremner said: “The members of this cohort of students have made a huge contribution to the life of our school in so many different ways. It is pleasing to see so many of them achieve success at the highest level academically, particularly as so many of them have done so whilst balancing their academic studies with significant sporting, charitable and other extra-curricular commitments. We know they will go on to achieve much more at university and in their careers and wish them well in the exciting challenges and opportunities that life will bring. I am sure they will join me in expressing thanks for the continuing support of their parents and the hard work and commitment provided by school staff over their years of secondary education.”
