Best of luck to all our Higher English pupils sitting their exam today! Remember to read every question carefully, stay calm and believe in yourself! 🤞✏️📚
2A1 were asked to (just this once!) judge a book by its cover to test their knowledge of genres and genre conventions 📚 How do you think they did?
Wishing all the best to our Senior Pupils who had their final day at @qahsinfo today! Also a massive good luck for your upcoming exams 🤞

Crime author Chris Brookmyre visited the school yesterday to speak to Advanced Higher English pupils. Chris spoke about his work and about how he became an author. He read the opening of `Quite Ugly One Morning` and gave pupils tips on how to improve their creative writing.
Upon being asked how he overcame writer's block, Chris told pupils: ``Writer's block is just a fear of committing. You have many ideas that you could go with but you refuse to commit to one as you are worried it might not be the right answer. You just need to take the leap"
Chris' visit was made possible with funding from the Scottish Book Trust's Live Literature Programme.
