On Monday 15th January we welcomed back pupils by holding our first House Assemblies of the new year for Grange, Lauder, Sienna and Tantallon. House and Sports Captains explained 'The Year of Young People', reflected on goals already achieved, shared their own goals for the coming year and asked pupils to think about their own goals. Great to see almost all of our pupils in school uniform, and we appreciate parental support in continuing to encourage this. Warm, hooded jackets with hats, gloves and scarves at the ready, please, for the colder weather.

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
For the sake of auld lang syne?
CHORUS
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For the sake of auld lang syne
And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give me one of thine!
We'll take a right good-will drink,
For the sake of auld lang syne
CHORUS
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For the sake of auld lang syne
