Dunottar Picture Show

fROM THE ARCHIVES

We are excited to announce that we have undertaken a comprehensive archiving project to digitalise our wonderful collection of historic literature and artefacts illustrating the rich history of Dunottar School and its community. The items have been scanned and made available for you to search and view.

You can find the archive on the Dunottar Society pages of our website, where among many other things, you’ll be able to search for old school programmes, look at air-raid reports, and indulge in photographs showing the school grounds, year groups and school productions dating back to the 1930’s.

If you have anything you would like to donate or lend to the archiving project, please get in touch with the team dunottarsociety@dunottarschool.com.

We will return any precious artefacts once they have been scanned.

Our archive project will be launching very soon... “ ” SCHOOl NEWS…

The last academic year was action packed, the summer term alone included over 90 cricket fixtures, the District Athletics Championships, a Ready Steady Cook competition and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions for Bronze, Silver and Gold participants, alongside the first examination season since 2019 for our Year 11and 13 pupils.

We are excited to be back-on-track, with a busy calendar and a thriving school community, packed with learning, extra-curricular activities and school trips.

Here are a few highlights from the year:

YEAR 9 CROSS-CURRICUlAR WW1 DAY

On Thursday 17th March 2022, our Year 9 pupils participated in a cross-curricular World War 1 day.

The aim of the day was for pupils to learn more about the history of war through a full day of engaging activities including a coding treasure hunt in maths, rationing, and making Anzac biscuits in food and nutrition.

Pupils also created aeroplanes in art and, using the VR headsets, experienced the terrifying reality of life in a trench. The day also included a military drill competition and an inter-house football tournament.
