    Holyrood Academy NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2021 Cambridge Offer! Inside this Issue Headteacher’s message… Competitions… Students’ work work work... Governors’ message... Useful websites... ...and a whole lot more. Caitlin Smith heading to Cambridge University Headteacher‟s Message Mr Dave MacCormick Headteacher What a half term it has been! Our students, staff and their families have been faced with yet more challenges in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic and have come through the other side together. I would like to congratulate our students for their hard work and resilience throughout this challenging half term and would like them all to know that we do hope to see them back at school as soon as it is safe for them to return. A 43 acre site is very empty indeed with just 100 students and 20 (or so) staff working on-site each day. The atmosphere and sense of togetherness in school is great, though, with everybody working together in what we know are tricky times for all. A big 'well done' must go to those students who are in school every day - they are amazing. I am delighted to read this bumper edition of our Newsletter and to see so many lovely opportunities being provided for our students. It really goes to show that although the school is not fully open, the 'Team Holyrood' spirit continues through lockdown, with students and staff working hard, being kind and joining in. It is great to see so many of our students taking advantage of the activities being offered both in lessons and outside of them.

Little did we know, we were creating history these past four years. We took in all we could from high school and made as many memories as possi- ble. Freshmen year is the beginning of it all. We start out immature, just trying to fit in and find our way. We tried so hard because we thought that those first days of high school would define who we are for the rest of our lives. We took things for granted, made mistakes, and dreamed about nothing but our senior year. Little did we know it would come right around the cor- ner. Sophomore year feels like it could be the worst year of your life but may turn out to bring you some great memories. We worried about passing the OGTs, without realiz- ing that one day we would have to take even harder tests than that.
