Antiracism Group Trip to Local Businesses.
Members of KGS antiracism group visited local businesses (Friday 8th March 2024) to talk about allyship and ask for support towards the publication of the antiracism story book written and illustrated by the group (Beuy the black Orkney vole) and the Anti-Racism / Challenging Racism Vocabulary Conversation Cards focused on conversations about race. The cards were necessitated by the conviction that they will give both young people and adults the language and sensitivity they need to talk about racism. The Cards explain what racism is, how it happens, why it should be NEVER acceptable and what each one of us can do to eradicate it.
KGS English Department Winter Book Sale 2023
The department enjoyed another very successful and joyous book sale at KGS to close 2023. We loved the opportunity to talk to pupils, parents, staff and members of the community about books, music and film over a coffee and traybake! We raised a grand total of £470 to support our stock of exciting, challenging and rich texts for classes. Many thanks to all who came and supported our (now annual) event! |
Fereday Prize Giving 2024
Today KGS hosted the annual Fereday Prize Giving, celebrating the achievements of S2 pupils from KGS and Stromness Academy on their local history projects.
With a lot of strong competition, the KGS winners for this year were, in first place Oscar, in second place Ran, and in third place Madison.
Well done to all the entries across both schools, the judges were highly complementary, and especially to KGS pupil Oscar who received the overall winner prize.
Thank you to Stromness Academy for travelling through and for the work of the Orkney Heritage Society and this year's judges.
