S4-6 Biology Textbooks The Biology department would ask all pupils both past and current to please check if they have any National 5, Higher textbooks or yellow PS booklets at home that they may have borrowed for study or general revision. Currently the department is missing a large number of textbooks particularly from Mrs Gordon’s, Mrs Millar and Miss McQueen’s classrooms. Instead of having 20 copies per classroom we currently have only 15 between 2 rooms and the department does not have the funds to replace the missing books. Please check desks at home, the depths of school bags and even under your bed for these missing books as the department would greatly appreciate their return so all students have access to these important resources. The department will always lend students resources but with the permission of their class teacher. A box is available for returning books in the Biology study base.
Thanks you Mrs Gordon.
