Antisocial Behaviour: We have received a message of concern with regard to a house in Morriston Road. The front garden of this house is covered in small stones (‘chuckies’). Reports have been received of Elgin Academy pupils removing these from the garden making a mess of the pavement in front of this house. It has been suggested that these stones are also interfering with traffics. Any pupil doing this must stop this at once. You should be aware that the residents are elderly, and have been upset and alarmed at this behaviour. Any further behaviour like this would most likely be referred to the police. (D Barnett)

Fires: We have had a report from the police and the fire service of a grass fire which took place at the Morrison Playing Fields shortly after school on 20 April. It is quite clear that this was very dangerous, and people could have been hurt and property could have been damaged. This must not happen again. If you have any information on what or who caused this, please speak to a member of staff. (Mr Barnett)

Sports Day Results:Well done to all pupils who took part in sports day. It was a highly competitive day with everyone giving their absolute best effort for their house. Thank you tooto all staff and stall-workers their contribution in making it such an excellent day!

Can you help? We have planned a collection for the Moray Food Bank. Food banks are used by the less fortunate to be able to eat and drink. We would be very grateful if pupils/staff could generously help us succeed by donating some goods in order to help. We would be very grateful if you could donate plastic bottles of juice, dried foods, canned foods, packets of foods – please no fresh foods as we cannot store these. The collection point will be in the blue floor social area during registration. (A big thanks from Mrs Grant’s S4 study group)
