Welcome to Boroughmuir

Ski Trip

The S2 ski trip to the USA has arrived! Mr. Dempster and Mr. Bell are keeping us updated on its progress.

Young scientists take a walk on the wild side

Tiger, tiger…

Six budding scientists from Boroughmuir’s S3 helped to launch a new competition by coming face to face with a Sumatran tiger at Edinburgh Zoo. The competition has been launched as part of the ‘Do Something Creative, Do Science’ campaign which aims to show pupils in S1–S4 that science can open up a lot of interesting and exciting opportunities. Entrants are tested on their scientific knowledge with a chance to win once in a lifetime prizes as part of the new Scottish Government campaign. Listen out for the radio adverts [on Radio Forth 1] for details of how to enter!

We also have a copy of the press release.
