We are the winners of Active Schools HIGH SCHOOL OF THE YEAR!!!! Special mention to our Sport and Wellbeing Committee for their hard work and dedication this year, you deserve it!
Cabinet Secretary for Justice Michael Matheson visited Craigroyston Community High School in Edinburgh to see first-hand the positive effects the CashBack for Communities funded Scottish Football Association’s Schools of Football training is having on its young participants. The Scottish Government’s CashBack for Communities programme funds free activities and programmes for young people across Scotland. It was introduced to improve young people’s self confidence and self esteem, and support communities, particularly those most affected by crime and anti-social behaviour. 2018 marks 10 years of the CashBack for Communities fund addressing disadvantage in communities throughout Scotland. The programme is now in its fourth phase with £17m of funding committed between 2017 and 2020.
Five of our pupils joined staff at the SCRAN table for the JCI burns night. SCRAN was chosen as the JCI charity of the year and we had the opportunity to speak, donate a hamper and supply all who attended with tablet and macaroons. The pupils took to the stage to speak about their time in SCRAN, their journey and how it had changed them, there wasn’t a dry eye in the place! The pupils were truly inspirational and afterwards they had everyone coming to speak with them. Congratulations to the SCRAN crew!
On Saturday seven S1-S3 pupils from our Lego club took part in the FIRST Lego League competition at the University of Edinburgh. While we didn’t win we had a great day and had lots of fun.
There were three elements to the competition – a presentation (they all did well presenting to strangers), being assessed on core values (such as team work) and competing against other teams to get their robot to complete a series of challenges. Congratulations to our students!

On Thursday 23rd November, we held our YPI final! All of our S5 finalists were outstanding and it was such a tough decision to pick an overall winner! Congratulations to all involved but in particular to Georgia, Mhairi and Brandin who were our winners and took away £3000 for their chosen charity, PYCP.
The City of Edinburgh Council have recently asked Edinburgh Leisure to process block bookings for sports clubs at all High Schools. This is a separate piece of work to the ongoing conversations about ‘operational transfer’ of High School sports facilities to Edinburgh Leisure to operate community time (after 6.00pm weekdays, weekends and holiday periods).
Accordingly, if you are a sports club, group or organisation and wish to make a block booking of a high school sport facility, please contact schoolbookings@edinburghleisure.co.uk or call 0131 458 2212.

Jakob (S4) shown here performing in a workshop (or masterclass) to the internationally acclaimed classical guitarist Gary Ryan.
Gary is professor of guitar at the Royal College of Music and is currently on tour with John Williams as well as performing solo recitals.
Jakob played really well and was a credit to our school over the course of the weekend. I am sure he has gained a huge amount of confidence as well as musical development from this experience.
