January 2020

Still on the subject of the High School I was very pleased to welcome
staff and pupils to their Christmas service on 19th December. It was a
most imaginative and lively affair led largely by senior pupils who gave
an imaginative hi-tech video presentation of the Christmas story,
interspersed with enthusiastic carol singing. Despite the School’s current
woes it was good to be part of such an energetic and enthusiastic
company. The spirit of Christmas was certainly alive and well!
Grace and Peace be with you all,
Finlay
