There are still some Carol Concert Programs available to buy - these list the names of all the performers and would make a lovely souvenir of the evening's performance.
Anyone wishing to purchase a Program can do so, either at the Christmas Assemblies in school on Thursday 20th December, or from the School Reception, for 50p.
Email to admin@jamesgillespies.edin.sch.uk for further information.

Duke of Edinburgh Scheme ambassadors
Beth Hegarty and Eilidh Paul volunteered to go to Parliament last
Thursday. They represented Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme for Scotland and spent the evening describing their DofE experiences to many MSP’s, senior members of Education Scotland and other representatives from other Award Organisations.
Well done, girls!
Ski success
JGHS ski teams enjoyed success at last weeks championships at Hillend:
Our Boys team; Ben
D’Ulisse, Callum Harper, John Jones and Andy Gibb and our girls team; Ailsa
Fox-Davies, Ellen Fox-Davies and Beth Heggarty both finished just out of the
medals in 4th place of their respective races. A great result
considering this was the first time both teams had skied together!
Well done to all.
