Mintlaw Celebrating Success

S1 Pupils – Outstanding Effort

Following the recent tracking reports, we would like to pass on our congratulations to your child for their outstanding effort across their courses. We ask our teaching staff to award the highest ‘rating’ for effort when a pupil’s effort has been exceptional and so to have been given this by a number of different teachers across a range of subjects is superb.

Congratulations on Outstanding Tracking Report Results

Following the recent tracking reports, we would like to pass on our congratulations to our pupils for their outstanding effort across their courses. We ask our teaching staff to award the highest ‘rating’ for effort when a pupil’s work has been exceptional and so to have been given this by several different teachers in a number of different subjects is superb.

Peterhead Fire Station

Some great pictures below from an excellent partnership event with Peterhead Fire Station. A group of our young people from S2 and S3 involved in a mock emergency yesterday, with all parents in attendance to watch. They did fantastically well.

Mintlaw Academy/Rennie Farms Partnership

“In honour of a long standing partnership between Mintlaw Academy and Rennie’s Farm Shop, Morag Rennie presented Mintlaw Academy (on behalf of the family business) with a new whole school pupil award in memory of her Mother-in Law Ina, who spearheaded the partnership. The inaugural award winner was S4 pupil Calvin Strachan for his endeavour and commitment to the Fresh start project, which Rennie Farm Shop have supported for many years through the provision of fresh produce to allow Mintlaw Academy pupils to engage in an enterprise project as part of their learning.”
