One of our woodwind instructors has started a woodwind group/jazz band and is looking for more saxophonists for the group. Any pupils that are currently playing clarinet/flute can play the saxophone, but we actually need the instruments!
We wonder if anybody might be willing to donate any instruments they no longer use and see them being put to use by our young people.
If you feel that you are able to assist with what would be an incredibly generous gift, or help in any other way please contact the school.

Everyone is welcome at The Bridges Project, Haddington on Thursdays during term time from 6.30-8.30 pm.
Pop in for a chat, to shoot some snooker, play table tennis, play on the Wii, watch some TV and stock up at the tuck shop.
If you have any health worries pop upstairs to see a nurse – could be about anything: exam stress, healthy eating advice, or just for a chat with someone who can listen.
Today is National Poetry Day, and to celebrate a poem chosen by Mr Swinney,
Every branch big with it,
Bent every twig with it;
Every fork like a white web-foot;
Every street and pavement mute:
Some flakes have lost their way, and grope back upward when
Meeting those meandering down they turn and descend again.
The palings are glued together like a wall,
And there is no waft of wind with the fleecy fall.
A sparrow enters the tree,
Whereon immediately
A snow-lump thrice his own slight size
Descends on him and showers his head and eye
And overturns him,
And near inurns him,
And lights on a nether twig, when its brush
Starts off a volley of other lodging lumps with a rush.
The steps are a blanched slope,
Up which, with feeble hope,
A black cat comes, wide-eyed and thin;
And we take him in.
Thomas Hardy, 1840-1928
