Margaret Mary Murray, head of service at BBC ALBA, will look at the impact of Gaelic media, including radio, television and online provision, on Scottish cultural life and Gaelic speakers around the world.
“The Gaelic Language in the media” takes place from 7.00 to 9.00pm on Wednesday 23 January at BBC Scotland, Pacific Quay, Glasgow. The talk will be delivered in Gaelic and a simultaneous English interpretation will be available on request. The event is free, but ticketed. To book a place or find out more, visit
School Uniform
We would like to remind parents and pupils of the school uniform requirements. We have noticed a general deterioration in the appearance of some pupils and the wearing of items which are not part of the uniform. All pupils should have the school tie to wear with a white shirt and a black crested jumper or cardigan or a plain black jumper or cardigan without a loga. Please use the designated retailer, Gilmour Sports, for the crested uniform items. All other items e.g. skirts, trousers etc can be purchased from different retailers and should be black.
