  • Summer Newsletter 2018
    COMPASSION DETERMINATION HONESTY SELF-BELIEF RESILIENCE RESPECT SUMMER NEWSLETTER 2018 A message from our Headteacher I hope you find this newsletter not only informative, but also that you are pleased with the continued efforts being made by staff and pupils alike to attain and achieve. The newsletter will reflect the range of opportunities young people enjoy and their success. It will also reflect that the staff continue to offer and deliver a range of opportunities to young people which are second to none. The SQA exam diet for 2018 is complete and once again all of our young people have demonstrated the capacities of curriculum for excellence, in the responsible, confident and effective way they have conducted themselves throughout the exam period. Our SQA invigilators congratulated the pupils for their exemplary behaviour, both the exam candidates and the junior pupils who ensured their conduct was such that the conditions for sitting exams were excellent. For those who sat SQA exams, time will tell if you have demonstrated that you are also successful learners. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our team of invigilators who provide a consistent level of excellence to Castle Douglas High School. When the results are released in August there will be staff in school on Wednesday 8th August, from 10am – 2pm, to answer queries and to help young people make decisions about their learning pathways should they feel their subject choices have to change based on their results. It is not often that a school wins a national competition, especially a competition where the number of entries and the quality of those entries is so high.

The list of schools is based on the Scottish Government's list of schools open as of September 2016: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/School-Education/Datasets/contactdetails For those schools listed which do not have an inspection date, this is due to a number of factors, including changes to the school estate, local circumstances, or the provision being reported in another inspection unit (GME units or support units).

Issue 41 www.stranraeracademy.org.uk October 2017 S6 Girls vs Mr Hyslop Great Scottish Run 10K Challenge! Mr Hyslop of Modern Studies was recently challenged to a 10k race by S6 girls Katie Macmillan and Ellen Watt with the aim of raising funds for the family of Stranraer Academy Network Technician Mr Andrew Glasgow, who sadly passed away on 28th August after a battle with cancer. The girls did very well and put in a great level of effort, but Mr Hyslop ended up with the fastest time of 00:49:59 with a pace of 05:00 min/km! The plan was for the girls to directly compete against Mr Hyslop at the Great Scottish Run in Glasgow but Katie was unable to take part in that event and therefore completed her 10k at another race in Musselburgh - with former pupil Duncan Anderson stepping in as her pacemaker. She finished her race in a great time of 01:04:26. Ellen enlisted the help of classmate Chloe Laverie to act as a pacemaker for her event and the girls did very well, finishing in a good time of 01:33:22. The trio set a target of raising £1000 for the Glasgow family and we are happy to announce that they surpassed that amount recently. Well done everyone! Donations are still being accepted from the following link: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mrhyslopellenandkatie?utm_term=QAmEB48wE Well done to everyone who took part!

  • Third Statistical Account of Scotland the Parish of Kirkgunzeon by Alan
    Third Statistical Account of Scotland The Parish of Kirkgunzeon by Alan W. Lindsay (1959) Mr Lindsay was the Head Teacher at Kirkgunzeon School and author of this third statistical account of the Parish. Boundaries: The Parish of Kirkgunzeon, lying between the burghs of Dumfries and Dalbeattie, is bounded by the parishes of Urr on the west, Lochrutton on the north, Southwick and Colvend on the south and New Abbey on the east. These boundaries are unchanged since 1792. Natural Features: The parish consists of a shallow north-east-south-west valley five miles long and three miles broad. Through this valley runs Kirkgunzeon Lane which, as its name implies, flows for a mile or two at least, through a straight channel (partly man-made) in the flat ground in the north-east of the parish. It is a good trout stream. The high land in the parish lies roughly round the boundaries. On the southern side the hills are heather-clad, forming the slopes of the large granite batholith of Criffel. The opposite side of the valley lies on blue whinstone. The dividing line between the granite and the whin runs down the centre of the valley. The whinstone ground is considered to be stronger land and better 1 able to hold moisture. Hence it grows better grass while the sharper granite- based ground produces better oats. Throughout the area much of the ground is uneven owing to small rocky outcrops here and there. The largest wooded area is Camphill, where there are perhaps 15 acres of rough coniferous plantation.
