School Wins National Award
These awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of young people and new entrants embarking on careers in the land-based, environmental and aquaculture sectors and are open to all vocational learners in Schools across Scotland.
The awards also celebrate the achievements of secondary schools and their pupils. Five years ago Lantra introduced the Rural and Urban Secondary Schools Award, the Land-based Curriculum for Schools Learner of the Year and the Higher Education Award. Breadalbane Academy are pleased to announce that they have won this Award for the third time.
Clava Cairns Visit
The Clava Cairns are a group of high status late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age burial cairns at Balnurin of Clava, near Inverness. Pupils from S5 / 6 used a Level to take measurements in order to draw a profile of the Central Ring Cairn. Pupils from S3 had to do a Tape and Offset Survey of the NE Passage Grave in order to produce a scaled plan back in school. Pupils have been learning some surveying skills in their Archaeology lessons.
Burns Supper
This year the Burns Supper was well supported by senior students and staff alike – a great time was had by all! Sadly no photos- however a fantastic £ 1000 was raised for Papyrus by the Charities Committee!
