Bienvenue En Écosse!

School reopens - Monday April 24th May Holiday - Monday May 1st Study Leave begins -Tuesday May 2nd Senior Induction - Monday June 5th S1/2 Parents Evening - tbc April 2017 End of term - Friday June 30th Bienvenue en Écosse! Mr Pérard writes… Pascal Paquet, Head Teacher of La Chaloupe Saint Leu secondary school on the Reunion Island (over 6,000 miles away) spent two weeks at Kilchuimen Academy to observe how the school works and to meet teachers as well as pupils. His school has been linked with ours for the past few years and it was a real pleasure to have him here. In his suitcase he brought letters from the distant pen pals and some gifts from the island which gave real pleasure to the S1 and S3 classes. On his last week, Pascal gave a presentation in the Academy and in the Primary about the Reunion island and talked about his school. Overall, it was a very enriching experience for both parties with Pascal having had a lovely time in Fort Augustus. Sky Sports Living Academy (Photo Gallery overleaf) Mrs Masson writes…. We were lucky enough to be involved in the Sky Sports Living for Sport Project for the second consecutive year. On Friday 17th March we were delighted to welcome back Steve Frew as our athlete mentor. Steve had already visited the school last year for a loyalty visit. Steve is a Scottish gymnast. He has represented Scotland and Great Britain over 100 times at various International Gymnastics Competitions. -
Kilchuimen Academy News Academy Kilchuimen Race for Life Photo Gallery
October 2016 German Choir & Tabea Sam Kennard, S1 writes... Recently a German choir, called Stimmig-Junges Ensemble Schwaig, came to Kilchuimen Academy, and taught us how to sing well. We were split off into three groups, and practised singing. We then came back together, and sang “Holding Onto The Rock” to everyone. They also performed songs to us, and even did an a cappella song! However, sadly Tabea was also about to leave us and move back to Germany – but she will always be remembered as a part of the school. Race for Life Mrs Masson writes... Both Kilchuimen Primary and Academy took part in a Race or Life event on Friday 30th September for Cancer Research UK. All pupils from P1 up to S6 took part in the event by walking, jogging or running different distances. P1/2 completed 200m round the school field, P3/4 completed 400m and P5 upwards completed 5K along the canal. All pupils who took part in the event received their Race for Life medal and, more importantly, raised money for Cancer Research UK. Although some fundraising money is still to be collected, it is estimated that we will have raised over £1500, which is fantastic! Well done to all the pupils who took part and all the members of the community who donated to this worthy cause.

Teachers and pupils produced an impressive selection of baking. -

A Huge Welcome for Scotland's Commonwealth Games Heroes
MELBOURNE 2006 – COMMONWEALTH GAMES REVIEW ISSUE 6: SUMMER 2006 A huge welcome for Scotland’s Commonwealth Games heroes The real impact of the team’s record breaking performance at the XVIII Commonwealth Games in Melbourne was only really felt as the team touched down at Glasgow Airport on Wednesday 29 March. Each and every team member was welcomed at the bottom of the aircraft steps onto the tarmac by Scotland’s First Minister Jack McConnell. The medallists were then dazzled by a gallery of photographers in the arrivals hall, before being embraced by family and friends proudly waving the saltire that had been so prominent over the 11 days of spectacular competition in Melbourne. With a piper leading the way, it was then on to a press conference to share the elation with the Scottish media.

Kidd Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Urban Studies College of Social & Political Sciences University of Glasgow 2 Abstract The recent staging of Glasgow 2014 drew universal praise as the ‘Best Games Ever’. Yet the substantial undertaking of hosting the Commonwealth Games (CWG) was sold to the nation as more than just eleven days of sporting spectacle and cultural entertainment. Indeed, the primary strategic justification offered by policymakers and city leaders was the delivery of a bundle of positive and enduring benefits, so-called ‘legacy’. This ubiquitous and amorphous concept has evolved over time to become the central focus of contemporary hosting bids, reflecting a general public policy shift towards using major sporting mega events as a catalyst to generate benefits across economic, environmental and social dimensions, on a scale intended to be truly transformative. -
For the Glory of Sport
For The Glory Of Sport The story of the Commonwealth Games from 1930 to 2014 By Bob Phillips Author€s Note The Commonwealth Games have always been particularly close to my heart in a lifetime of a passionate interest in sport. I saw them for the first time as a teenage fan in Cardiff in 1958 € when they were still known as the British Empire and Commonwealth Games € and was captivated then by the marvellous deeds of the athletes on a cinder track fitted tightly round the hallowed turf of the celebrated Arms Park rugby-football ground. Lithe and lightning-fast sprinters from the Caribbean islands, rugged middle-distance and long-distance runners from Australia and New Zealand, a gloriously fluent quarter-miler from India, jumpers and throwers from what then seemed such exotic far-flung corners of the globe as Fiji, North Borneo and Singapore € it was all intensely exciting and laid the foundations for what would be for me many more such delightful adventures to come as a professional journalist and broadcaster. Even so, there were only 35 countries competing at those Games of more than half-a-century ago. In Glasgow this year there will be twice that number. The Games have grown out of all recognition, but in the process of so doing they have managed to maintain an intimacy € even a coziness, if you like € which so many of the other forms of international sport have long since shunned in the relentless interests of commercialism. This is a favoured theme of mine which you will find recurring throughout this history of the Commonwealth Games € call me old-fashioned, if you wish, but there are inherent qualities of fair play, of sportsmanship, of comradely competition among members of a vastly extended but affectionate family, which have survived over more than 80 years at these Games, though not entirely unscathed, and they are not widely in evidence elsewhere these days.
