In conjunction with our prefect group, who are made up of a small number of S4 students as well as their S5-6 peers, our seniors have been working hard to support school events. Back in August, pupils celebrated another set of very strong results with eight S4 students gaining six Grade A National 5 Awards and three S5 students delighted to achieve straight A results across five Higher courses. Well done to them and to last year’s S4-S6 as a whole who worked hard and should be very proud of their results. Both our S4 and S6 results were the strongest for the past 6 years.

Projects Funded
NorthConnect Legacy Fund Summary of Awards 2017-2020 Between 2017 and 2020, £59,907 has been awarded by the NorthConnect Legacy Fund to community groups benefiting the Fund area. Some examples showing the range of activities funded are shown below, followed by a full list of awards. Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust: Rescue boat engine In 2017, the Fund awarded Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust £1,000 towards a rescue boat engine to support activities taking place at the Trust’s Peterhead centre. The cover provided by the rescue boat meant that the Trust was able to deliver taster sessions for schools, RYA courses, race training and RYA junior sailing courses. The boat supported disabled schools sailing and weekly disability club. 538 people of various ages benefited. The vital role of the rescue boat was highlighted in an incident in September 2019, when a sudden squall caused three dinghies to capsize, throwing ten teenage sailors into the water. This prompted the emergency services to launch a large scale response, involving helicopters and lifeboats. However, the Trust’s instructors were able to use the rescue boat to get everybody quickly and safely ashore without injury or the assistance of emergency services. Following the incident, the Buchan Coastguard issued a statement saying that “This incident had the potential to be far more serious in outcome except for some key factors… We would like to thank those involved for being properly equipped.” Press and Journal; 6 September 2019; Instructors praised as 10 teens rescued from North Sea in ‘violent storms’. Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden In 2017, the Fund awarded the Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden £400 toward fencing and equipment.

GHOSTS of the PLAGUE GADLE BRAES and IVES ROAD, PETERHEAD the Next Day, the Laird Unbolted the Tower Door and Pulled Isobel to Her Feet
By the time Isobel came home, Sandy had been seized by a dozen sturdy men and bound in chains. He was led to the Selchie Hole, a coastal cave which flooded at high tide. The cave stood below the Wine Tower, which was the secret chapel of Lady Fraser, the laird’s wife, Magdalen. When Isobel entered her father’s room at the top of the house and asked what he wanted, she could see his eyes were full of anger. “How dare you consort with that piper laddie! He is far beneath you, you’re a laird’s daughter, and yet I heard from your own mouth the acceptance of his offer of marriage! You have no right to bring such shame on the Fraser name!” Alexander roared. Isobel was horrified. “You followed me?” “Yes, and it is as well I did, you would have left tomorrow and we would never have seen you again!” Alexander snapped. “As it is, that is the last you will ever see of your poor lover, he has been dealt with!” “What? What have you done to Sandy? Where is he?” Isobel demanded. “Where he will meet his fate, now, you must forget about him, I will find you a suitable husband, some earl’s son at least, but never ever would I let you marry a commoner!” her father told her. Isobel screamed in protest and ran before her father could rise. She guessed at once where Sandy would be, the Selchie Hole, which would be full of water! But before she ever got outside, the servants stopped her.
