I have been delighted to hear of so many positive examination results across the year groups, as well as watching many of the girls play cricket for the school in recent weeks. Congratulations to the girls 1st XI who are in the middle of their cricket tour to Edinburgh and I look forward to hearing about it tomorrow at the 1st and U15 cricket fixture which will take place on the Playground from 1.30pm.
 
The girls remain busy, but in high spirits and this leads nicely into the plans for the last two weeks of term.

Sports Day
We are very much looking forward to Sports Day next Friday (28th June) and the girls have been busy organising their teams to compete. We will be channelling our famous MacLeod House Spirit and getting behind the girls with face paint and energy! Girls are reminded to wear their green House tops for the event and to give it their best! Parents are welcome to attend and should arrive at Top Ground (the fields above the astro) for 9.20am, presentations will take place at 12.30pm.
Girls will then have lunch, normal period 5 and chapel, with school finishing at the normal time.
 
Come on the GIRLS in GREEN!!!
