this was very successful with both students receiving a great deal of praise and positive feedback from visitors. Throughout the year a number of students from various Colleges and Universities have participated in the life of our school and been supported in their studies. From nursery to secondary 4 we have provided very successful placements for a variety of courses. S4 pupils organised and ran the Christmas dance, they worked together to put a really good programme in place and they encouraged every child in the school to participate by having a range of games and dances to suit all ages and personalities. Once again we hosted the Senior Citizens Christmas dinner in the school which was very well attended. Pupils from every age and stage performed a variety of musical pieces to entertain the older members of the community. Secondary pupils then served the meal and helped clear up but most importantly they engaged with the visitors to the school and ensured that everyone left full of the Christmas spirit. We also displayed a gallery of photographs from the old schools in Yell which was very well received. Our Eco-group have participated in a number of activities this year ranging from growing their own potatoes to shredding paper. They have raised the profile of environmental responsibility not only in our school but also in the wider community and have monitored the schools performance in a few environmental areas. They have now established recycling projects for plastic bottles, batteries and ink cartridges. Our school allotment area has been developed and our recycled Greenhouse put to good use, allowing us to produce a range of vegetables for use in the school kitchens and to enter into the Yell show. Pupils from our school have continued to support the Garden area of our Care Centre. They made a considerable difference to this garden and built up some very positive relationships along the way. Some of our older pupils were also involved in participating in a woodworking project alongside residents from the care home. Pupils participated in a CITB Build a Bridge Competition, SIC rocket competition and the construction crafts college open day. Once again they were very successful in these, representing the school brilliantly and winning several national prizes.
