The Chefs
The S5 Hospitality class provided an Indian Lunch for staff to help raise money for The Children in Need appeal. Over 70 staff attended and enjoyed a variety of beautifully prepared dishes. The pupils looked very smart in their kitchen whites and served the diners like true professionals. Thanks to Mrs Duffy and all the staff in Home Economics for a wonderful event which will hopefully raise a good sum for a great cause.

Requests for Information…

President’s Chain of office
We would be grateful for any information regarding the President’s chain of office [pictured left]. Our assumption, given that it is hallmarked 1943, is that it is either for the President of the Literary and Debating Society [founded 1944] or for the President of the Former Pupil Association [founded 1946].
Roll of Honour
We have recently added the First and Second World War Rolls of Honour to the site. It is our intention, if possible, to include a photograph and some biographical material for everyone on them. However, while we have a wealth of material for the First World War, we have very little for the Second. We would be delighted to receive any contributions.
Please email the webmaster [webmaster@boroughmuir.edin.sch.uk] with any information regarding either of these items.
Web Team
Curriculum for Excellence
The Curriculum for Excellence is a National Initiative which will be introduced in Boroughmuir High School for the new S1 pupils in August 2010. We have some information about this in the information section of this site.
PTA Silent Auction
On the 5th of February we hope to organise a Silent Auction—so all we need from you are things to auction!
This is what you have been waiting for—a chance to become involved in a very enjoyable evening—while raising money for your child’s school! We are finding it more and more difficult to raise money for the school so your help is really appreciated.
For example you could donate an hour gardening, a week in your holiday cottage, making a meal, an expensive bottle of wine, writing a will, babysitting, anything that someone else might wish to bid for!
If you, a friend, or your child at Boroughmuir has anything, any talent or any skill that they would be willing to donate please let us know as soon as possible.
Please reply to this site via email [webmaster@boroughmuir.edin.sch.uk] by December 1st.
