Head teacher Graeme Smart, in his speech, said: "On March 20 we sent all our pupils and staff home and started working on line. I know that our closure for Covid-19 and our on-line learning as a result has been a source of stress for some of our pupils and that the very sudden enforced move to a virtual curriculum was not easy. I want to commend the pupils for the real efforts they made in those weeks to keep up with the work being set by teachers. Some of you really worked incredibly hard and I know you will feel the benefit now that we are back at school.
"I also want to thank the parents for all their support in this time, without your encouragement and perseverance the job would be a lot more difficult.
"Our teaching staff also worked incredibly hard over these weeks to provide a high standard of work and support to all our pupils and I thank them sincerely for their efforts.
"Many of our support staff have also gone beyond what we could reasonably expect in such difficult times to provide extra support for our pupils and to ensure that they were all safe and well even if they were not able to connect with on-line learning.
"At a normal prize giving I would be looking forward to exam results. Even if I had been standing here in July that would not have been the case. There were no exams and in spite of some early concerns about the results we now know that the estimated grades we provided after a long and careful process have been accepted. This means that we have the results which our pupils deserved this year and we are delighted with the successes of our S4, S5 and S6 from last year. Well done to all of you."
