The theme for the Christmas Boxes 2011 was simply 'Christmas' to allow full creativity in design.
Every S1 class and all three houses in S6 produced a box and S1 to S5 were well represented.
Once decorated, the boxes are filled with lots of tasty goodies and distributed to the elderly throughout the local community.
Overall Winner - 1T3
Abbie Robertson, Emily Bowen, Louise Johnston and Kay Wilson (of the winning group) helped deliver the boxes along with Daniel Smith to deliver the boxes to Haddington Day Centre and Sheltered Housing at the Butts.

Judges Special Mention
Mr Duddin (who retired as Depute in June 2011) was presented with a "decorated box" from the Senior Management Team.
Well done to everyone, the standard was excellent putting us all in a very Christmassy mood!

After the technical issue experienced last week, the S4 Reports will be issued to pupils today at registration.
During the month of December, the S1 pupils were tasked by the RMPS department to design their own nativity display. Thinking outside the box was encouraged and we have received some fantastic projects! We have had lampshades, cakes, gingerbread nativity characters, models, stables and many more wonderful displays. Judging was carried out on Friday 16 December by Mrs Craig, Rev Jennifer Macrae, Miss Orr and Mr Illingworth.
Overall winner - Nativity Tapestry by Amber Berg 1T
"Best Artistry" - Illustration by John McFern 1L
"Best Eco-Friendly Interpretation" - Nativity scene using recycled materials by Kaye Wilson 1T
"The 'Thinking-Outside-The Box' Award" - Nativity Stable by Megan Taylor 1G
Mrs Montgomery, Mr Woolley and Mrs Baird would like to congratulate the pupils on these projects as they were of an exceptionally high standard with merits given for each entry.
