S4,5,6: BARONY OPEN DAYS. Just a reminder that we have four open days coming up in February and March if any pupils are interested in the following subjects:
Agriculture: Thursday 12th February, 10am-4pm
Equine: Thursday 12th February, 1pm-4pm
Engineering: Wednesday 11th March, 10am-4pm
Forestry and Arboriculture: Monday 16th March, 10am-4pm
These are drop in events, which will give pupils the chance to see around the facilities and talk to staff and students about the course that interests them (allow one to two hours for the visit). – Miss Dalrymple.
S1-6: There has been a recent increase in TELECOMMUNICATION OFFENCES involving students posting pictures of staff or other students on social media networks with derogatory comments attached. This is a criminal offence and may lead to the person posting it receiving a criminal conviction. Staff do NOT give their permission to be photographed particularly within a classroom environment and the majority of students likewise. Please give thought to this notice as anyone suspected of this type of offence could also have their phone seized as part of a criminal enquiry. – PC Boyce.

• Always write a title and date which should be underlined.
• Write in full sentence answers where possible.
• No graffiti allowed on or within any jotter/folder/workbook.
• Take pride in your work at all times.
• Ensure all jotters/folders etc. have your name, teacher name, subject, and class.
