We move quickly towards the end of Term 3, which is Friday 28th March, and will include a dress down day in aid of Maggie’s Centre. There’s no slowing down as we approach this holiday with a range of events being hosted in school and visits taking place, many of which are detailed in this bulletin. This is also a very busy period for our senior learners who are working through a busy period of assessments and assignments as they approach the end of their SQA courses and the upcoming exams. Full details of arrangements for this diet, and our new Study Days immediately prior to exams will be shared in a letter from Mrs Larkworthy later this week. I also encourage all senior learners to take advantage of our upcoming fantastic Easter School provision with 180 hours of teacher contact being on offer – sign up https://forms.office.com/e/x3Mmh4Mnzd before 5pm on Wednesday 19th March to confirm space (209 learners have done so already).

We are delighted to be welcoming our team of 8 staff today from across Dundee City Council who will be completing our Collaborative Improvement Visit over the next 3 days. This is an opportunity for our school community to showcase and show off the great things that happen in our school every day. We also welcome their feedback and support in relation to improvements that we are making to continually improve the experience that we provide for all our learners. A huge thank you to everyone that has been involved in this process so far by taking the time to complete our surveys (125 parents/carers, 883 learners and 94 staff) and for those that are signed up for focussed groups over the next few days. Our learners are also well prepared to engage positively with our visiting team as they seek their views in lessons, clubs and during social times. We look forward to our feedback session on Wednesday and hearing all about how the team have seen our school community embody our new school values of Commitment, Ambition, Respect and Equity.

Take Care.

On the 27th February, 32 S5/6 Grove pupils hit London town for a 4 day visit organised by Social Subjects. This is what a few of those on the trip had to say about their London experience:

“London was a trip of a lifetime.  On the first day we were lucky enough to see ‘Wicked’ in the West End and it was such a fantastic experience with incredible singers and actors.  The next day we visited the UK Parliament which had great architecture.  The iconic Big Ben tower stood tall as we walked around the parliament, the historic interior was amazing.  We also went on the London Eye which has stunning views of London’s skyline.  On the third day we explored the Imperial War Museum which was both educational and moving.  We also went to Covent Garden which was filled with amazing food restaurants and high-end fashion retailers.  The day ended with an eerie Jack the Ripper Walking tour and a boat ride home along the Thames. On the last day we went to Camden Market which was buzzing with people and had great food places.  We had quite a few trips on the Tube while we were in London  and it was certainly an experience!  Every moment of this trip was filled with excitement and new experiences that I am sure everyone will cherish forever.” – Megan, Carla, Lauren & Aisha (S5)

During the STEM Expo trip on Wednesday 26th February, one of the exhibitors, Angus Cycle Hub presented an activity where pupils learned about their recycling process for bicycles. Pupils then completed a quiz for the opportunity to win one of six recycled Mongoose BMX bikes. These were marked, and the names were inputted to a random name selector.

We are delighted to announce that Rory Duncan (2O1) was one of the lucky winners of one of the bikes, along with a helmet, lock, and lights! Congratulations to Rory!!
