Airdrie Academy pupils enjoyed a fabulous Prom night recently.  The event was held at the Westerwood  Hotel and was a great success.  The pupils all looked glamorous in their formal attire and danced the night away.  The evening was a celebration of this S6 group who have been a delight to work with.  Everyone enjoyed the evening immensely.

Special thanks to Mrs Dewar, Mrs Lennox and the S6 Events Management Team who organised the Prom.

The S6 pupils enjoyed a fabulous send off on their last day of school.  Pupils organised a fitting assembly where they watched a video which reflected the many events that had taken place throughout the year.  There were pupil performances and the distribution of certificates to celebrate the many successes that pupils had enjoyed this session.  The S6 pupils had a fabulous time reminiscing together and of course had the opportunity to take part in shirt signing!

They have been a wonderful group who have contributed hugely to the wider life of the school.  We wish them well as they move on from Airdrie Academy to embark on new adventures.

The annual Young  Musician of the Year Competition took place on Thursday 21st April at Airdrie Academy.  The pupils performed to a very high standard and provided an evening of wonderful entertainment.  Congratulations to everyone who took part.

The winners were:

Junior Singer – Jennifer Espie

Junior Instrumentalist – Adam Campbell

Senior Singer – Morgan McComb

Senior Instrumentalist – Morgan Tait

Throughout this term all of the S1 classes from Airdrie Academy have been visiting the Sky Academy in Livingston.  The pupils have been given an opportunity to create and star in their own news broadcast based on the issue of ‘cyber bullying’.

The pupils have been thoroughly enjoying the experience and have been learning a great deal about the world of the media and about team work and cooperation.  Pictured are 1F1 on their recent visit.
