Thousands flock to Open Day

What a fantastic weekend! A whopping 3,582 people came to visit the new school building. It was a treat to hear so many people say so many positive things about our new home. Thank you one and all for coming along, and a massive thank you to all the pupils, parents, staff and other helpers for making our guests feel so welcome.

It's Christmas as usual

Even with all the extra activity going on in the school, there's still time for Christmas. The traditional Christmas lunch and the last ever Christmas Dance in this KGS building both took place last Thursday. Tuesday will be Wear Your Christmas Jumper Day to raise money for victims of Typhoon Haiyan.

Debaters deliver a strong challenge in Inverness


Four senior pupils from KGS were in Inverness today representing the county in the STV/Debating Matters Referendum Schools Debate. Jenny Craighead, Ria Leslie, Anna McKay and Ben Sutherland headed south to do battle with Forres Academy, Fortrose Academy and the Nicolson Institute from the Western Isles.

Today's competition held at the Tulloch Caledonia Stadium was the most northerly of 8 debates being run up and down the country. Up first, Anna and Ria delivered strong arguments in favour of an Elected Head of State for Scotland. They met with stiff competition from Forres Academy and, by judges decision, Forres were given the win by the slimmest of margins. 

The Nicolson Institute then went up against Fortrose Academy, arguing that Scotland has more in common with England than with other small nations. It was another close battle, with The Nicolson Institute scraping the win.

The final round saw Forres Academy and The Nicolson Institute lock horns on the Referendum question "Should Scotland Be An Independent Country". An impassioned debate from both sides was eventually judged in favour of the team from the Western Isles. The Nicolson Institute will now progress to the final on March 22nd at the STV studios in Glasgow.

A huge congratulations to the KGS team for their performance which split not only the judges but also the audience.

All four members of the team thoroughly enjoyed the format of today's debates and are keen to try it out some more. If you would like to get involved with future debating opportunities, speak to Ms Perry or Ms Fleming about setting up a debate club.

KGS says 'Salut' to European languages

It was bon appétit for KGS S1 pupils this morning as they tucked into a special continental breakfast.

In the week following the launch of Speak to the Future’s ‘1000 Words’ Campaign, to mark European Day of Languages on September the 26th, the Modern Languages department organised the big breakfast.

During this week, lessons will be geared towards language awareness.

Ms Scott, Principal Teacher of Modern Languages, said, “We’ve made great use of the resources we have in the school, with pupils and staff sharing their knowledge of European languages by offering taster sessions in French, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish.

The 1,000 Words Campaign stems from concerns that the country is losing out on international trade and jobs because of poor language skills.

“Research shows that learning a foreign language increases our brainpower and improves the quality of our contact with the rest of the world”, added Ms Scott.

“By having a fun, cultural experience and getting together and sharing in this way, we hope we can promote the benefits and enjoyment that can come from learning another language.”

Mrs Dick, Head Teacher at KGS added: “At KGS we understand the importance of learning a modern foreign language and the Big Continental Breakfast is a super way of helping pupils to engage with the study of other cultures.”

Here’s what some pupils said about learning foreign languages:

“It means I can talk to other people from other countries; you can also travel to other countries; I could have a job in different countries and get food in different countries too.” Archie, 1W

“Learning another language is fun and enjoyable and it plays a big role in my life. I might go to France and buy some French food.” Joe, 1I

“It’s helpful. I enjoy learning French. I will use it if I go to France and when I am an engineer, I might have some meetings in France.” Connor W, 1I

“I find learning French fun. I want to have a holiday home in France. I won’t need a guide book when I am on holiday and I will talk with French people.
I want to work at CERN in Switzerland so knowing French will be handy” Finn, 1I

Top teen author comes to KGS

Laura Cogle reports:

During English lesson yesterday we received a visit from Keith Gray. Keith is a famous author living in Edinburgh who as a teenager did not achieve good enough grades to do the course he wanted. He also did not like reading books as a child, which I find very surprising now that he writes his own books for a living.

Some of Keith's books have been nominated for major prizes such as the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Fiction Prize, the Booktrust Teen Prize and the Scottish Arts Council Book Award. He won the Angus Book Award as well as a silver medal in the Smarties prize - coming second to Harry Potter!

I really enjoyed Keith's presentation. I found it very interesting to know that he did not like reading when he was young. Keith is a very enthusiastic person and kept inserting jokes throughout his talk. Towards the end of the lesson he read out a snippet of his book Next, which I really enjoyed and wanted to read. I definitely recommend Keith's books for teenagers, like me, who usually do not enjoy reading.

Orkney Schools Debating Success

Berstane pupils Shani Patching and Lucy Broadhurst-MacGregor are the winners of this year’s Orkney Schools Debating Competition. The two travelled to Stromness Academy for the final yesterday, where they proposed the motion that ‘Junk food should be banned in schools’. Shani and Lucy faced strong competition from Stromness pupils Anja Hall and Gareth Flett, who presented well-thought-out arguments for what was to prove a difficult motion to oppose. In the end, the judges felt that the KGS girls had the edge, and that their speeches were more detailed than those of their Stromness counterparts. The beautiful crystal trophy will now be engraved with Shani and Lucy’s names. A special thank you goes to Ms Fleming, who coached the girls in the competition. Congratulations to Lucy and Shani!
