National 5 Geography Field Trip to Dunkeld A successful and enjoyable day was had by all in the sunshine at Dunkeld on Monday 24 August. The aim was to collect data to allow pupils to complete their Assignment. Footpath erosion, visitor surveys, traffic counts and a survey of tourist facilities gave plenty of information and pupils experienced many different fieldwork techniques which were new to them. A Head Teacher on holiday from Australia stopped the accompanying staff and complimented them on the manners, conduct and impeccable attitude of the pupils he had observed. Great work TCSoA!

Supporting Your Child’s Learning - Secondary Please access the document on the school website (linked below) regarding the structure, process and philosophy of the ‘Tutor Group’ which is a feature of our new timetable and which takes place weekly on a Friday in small groups. Please discuss your child’s ‘log book’ entries with them as he or she progresses through the year. Our first tracking information for S2 - S6 pupils will be with you by the beginning of September via your son/daughter. A group call email will alert you to this. http://www.tcsoa.com/Secondary/The-Main-Aims-of-Tutor-Group/
