≈ Comments Off on Supporting your Child in the BGE

Thank you to all the S1 and S2 parents, speakers and school staff who attended this event.  We enjoyed getting to know you better and hope you enjoyed getting to know more about the support team in the school and beyond. Thank you also to the PTA who kept us in caffeine on a fairly dreich evening!  I would like to offer particular thanks to Ryan Gilroy…as he said himself afterwards, he spoke from the heart and his honesty and passion were very well received.  We are incredibly proud of him.

If you have any feedback on the evening that you would like to share with us it would be gratefully received.  Please contact us through admin@balernochs.edin.sch.uk and title your email ‘BGE Feedback.’

If you are interested in participating in a Raising Teens with Confidence course we would be delighted to hear from you.  We plan to run the first course in the October to Christmas term, dates to be confirmed, but it will be in the evening.  Again, please contact us at the admin email above using the title ‘RTWC.’

Fran and Anna provided their email addresses last night.  If you have any questions regarding the ASL provision here is a reminder of their details:

Anna.gray@ea.edin.sch.uk

Fran.platt@ea.edin.sch.uk

Once again, thank you for engaging with us.

Inaugural S2 School Spelling Bee

≈ Comments Off on Inaugural S2 School Spelling Bee

A massive well done to all pupils who participated in our inaugural S2 School Spelling Bee.

Our finalists were:

Ryan Barnett
Cara Ciulla
Sydney Curran
Zara Dalton
Melony Filson
Kate Gibbons
Callum Gourlay
Louis Hartl-Hazette
Martiya Jamiolahmady
Ben McGill
Ella Spittle
Max Van Ee
Ceinlys Williams

After a hard-fought battle during 7 rounds – which included some very tricky words – our overall winner was Ceinlys Williams.  Great stuff, Ceinlys!

Well done also to our Advanced Higher English pupils who organised the event and used the lighting to excellent effect to create a great atmosphere in the Drama Studio.

Thank you to all English teachers for their hard work in making the event possible.
