Pitching Ideas to the Dragons

27/5/2016

The winners with the Marr Dragons

Our S1 pupils recently took part in a competition run by the business studies department, the S1 Marr's Dragon Enterprise Challenge. They were tasked with creating a product which could entice our very own Dragons, Annabelle Beckwith, Claire Graves and Claire O’Donnell. The winning group was Andrew Milne, Aaron Blair, Ross Gouldstone, Ethan Riddell and Harry Jackson, who won with their product called 'Make your Own'

The product is a den for children – which the owners could change the design of – a castle one day; submarine the next etc. The dragons felt that it was a realisable project which could hit the market straight away, the team presented very well and had thoroughly thought through the finance of their project. The group's presentation is here. Well done to all who competed and congratulations to the winners.

Sports Team Photographs

11/5/2016

We have organised for our schools sports teams to have photographs taken on Thursday 19th May. This year we will take the photographs at the Marr Playing Fields due to the construction work going on within the main school campus. All players are expected to attend the photograph session and pupils should bring their strips if they play in a hockey, rugby or volleyball team.

Pupils will get changed in the sports pavilion at the playing fields and should arrive 15 minutes prior to their time slot. The table below indicates the time each team will get their photograph taken.

Show Racism the Red Card

11/5/2016

On Tuesday 10th May Miss Pringle (RMPS) accompanied a group of pupils, who are involved in the rights respecting schools process, to the final of the Show Racism the Red Card creative competition at Hampden Park, Glasgow. The group were the overall winners in their category with a thought provoking poem!

They each received a certificate and cinema tickets and they were presented their prizes by Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon. The pupils were praised for their passion in spreading the message that Scotland is against racism. Their poem will be used in the future to promote anti-racism and a calendar is going to be produced with all the winning entries with money being raised for the charity. The pupils involved were: Bethan Muir S5,
Iona Milne S3, Anna McIvor S3, Amy Murray S3, Olivia Michalek S3, Emily Sheridan S3, Rendia Petjukevica S3 and Louise Milne S5. A huge congratulations to everyone involved. The wining poem is below:

Show Racism the Red Card Poem
Nobody on earth is a minority,
Everyone must be treated with equality

Everyone always deserves respect,
So we all need to love and protect

Every person in all of our nations,
All have a right to a good education

We’re here because we want to stay,
Please don’t try to take us away

Who’d ever think that something like sport,
Could sadly make its way to court

None of us are from outer space,
So please can you get off our case

Just because we are all different races,
Does not give you the right to shout it in our faces

No one ever deserves to feel alone,
This is our home
