On Thursday 14th October we were thrilled to be able to hold a COVID-safe Awards Ceremony in the garden. Five senior boys were presented with certificates and pin badges for passing their Grow and Learn courses from the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society.
Well known horticulturalist Jim McColl was our honoured guest. He gave us a talk, presented the awards and took a wee tour of the garden.
There was a buzz of excitement after so long without guests or events in the garden!
Darren greeted everyone and ensured they completed details for Track and Trace!
We enjoyed welcoming parents...
...and drinking tea & coffee ably served by Mr Sievewright.
After the ceremony, the boys were keen to show Jim our hot composter. They had previously given it a good wash. Jim was impressed at the compost produced from canteen food waste and sawdust. Well done to all those who passed the course!
In other news, Dougal and Jacob can be seen planting crocus bulbs into pots for springtime.
They were donated to the school in order to publicise the International Rotary campaign to end polio across the word. Click to find out more!
