Golspie High School held its annual prize-giving ceremony in the school assembly hall last month.
Head teacher Mark Evans gave the rector's welcome and made closing remarks in addition to presenting achievement certificates, awards and trophies.
Pupils showcased their musical talents, treating guests to a number of musical interludes which included performances from Sutherland Schools Pipe Band and Golspie High School Traditional Band as well as musicians Caragh Gillott, Georgie MacLennan, Aine Martin and Carrie Torres.
The school's drama group gave a rendition of the Croquet Song from Alice the Musical – the group staged the production to much acclaim earlier this year.
