Duke of Edinburgh Expedition

A small group of 4th year boys completed their Silver Practice Expedition last weekend, 21st/22nd April. They departed from the school on Saturday morning at 8.30, and walked a total of 20 kilometres over the 2 days. Norma Morrison, a trained Award Leader, and Mr Fusco from the PE Department accompanied them. Although it was cold, they were extremely lucky with the weather as it only rained through the night. They returned on Sunday at 4pm.

Comenius YIEA Update

As part of the YIEA Comenius project, 10 pupils visited Sweden before Easter where they were also joined by students from our Sardinian partner school. The pupils’ experience included staying with their Swedish hosts for a week whilst participating in school lessons and various group activities. They also made excellent presentations to their European peers about life at Forrester High School, the city of Edinburgh and Scottish entrepreneurs. During their time away all of the pupils were a credit to the school.

The next phase of the project during the week of 4th June will see Forrester pupils hosting students from Sweden and Spain.
