From Tuesday 15th September, LGBT Youth Scotland will be launching a new online group called ‘Out of Town’. The group will be for young LGBTQ+ people aged 13-16 living in the Highlands and Islands.
The group runs on their Discord server, Pride & Pixels, which is an invited and private space. Joining this space, young people can interact with other LGBTQ+ people from across Scotland, find out more about events and activities happening in their area and learn more about opportunities that we are offering. Use this link to apply to join.
We finished the term with a fantastic whole-school game of rounders, bringing pupils and teachers together for an afternoon of activity and good-natured rivalry!
The Rape & Sexual Abuse Service Highland (RASASH) visited our school this week to run workshops with S2, S3 and S4. These workshops are part of Rape Crisis Scotland’s national sexual violence prevention programme funded by the Scottish Government. They looked at how power can influence relationships and developed our understanding of sexual violence. RASASH will be back in the future to run workshops with S1, S5 and S6.
In the run-up to prom we ran a clothes swap, where pupils could donate unwanted items of clothing and pick up something new to them. The swap was a great opportunity to promote sustainability, reduce waste,and refresh wardrobes without buying new items. Thank you to everyone who donated!

This will be in the stripey chair room upstairs, at lunchtime. You don't need an appointment - you can just drop in to see her. I'll send out a reminder nearer the time.
