Tonight Ava-Rose and Ciara competed in the Glasgow Bar association debating semi-final. Unfortunately they were just pipped at the post by students 2 years their senior. This is just the beginning though and they will be back with a bang next year @holyrood #hocvince

Well Done to Rose and Nazee in tonight's @COPFS Public Speaking Glasgow Final. Unfortunately we were just pipped to the post by a fantastic team from @ShawlandsAcad. Well done to everyone involved. #hocvince

And special shout out to Rose C who has broken the S3 curse!

It’s been a while! This week we had 4 pupils; Mya Rose, Katie, Nazee and Rose competing in the @COPFS Public Speaking Competition. Everyone done fantastically well and Nazee and Rose have managed to get through to the next round. 👏 @HolyroodSec #AspireBelieveCommunicate

It was a pleasure to accompany S4 pupil Rose to the Glasgow Speaker's Club Speech competition. Rose achieved runner-up with a simply outstanding speech! @HolyroodSec @MrsSharonWatson @MrCharlick

Pleasant surprise receiving this today in recognition of Rose & Mairin's fantastic achievement. @HolyroodSec #aspirebelievecommunicate

Hustings for headboy/ girl delighted to be able to listen to the fantastic speeches from the candidates.

We're back. This Thursday after school in the conference Room! Any questions see Mr Charlick in Maths 8. As always, EVERYONE is welcome @HolyroodSec #AspireBelieveCommunicate

Once again Katie & Rose done us proud! Sadly it wasn't to be tonight and we will come back better next time 💪 As this was our last competition of the year a big well done to everyone who's competed this year! @HolyroodSec

This week, we are off to @WhitehillSec for the semi-finals of the @GlasgowSpeakers junior debating competition with Katie and Rose. We will be competing with @StAndrewsRCSec @StColSchool @HSofG . Looking forward to the opportunity! #AspireBelieveCommunicate @HolyroodSec

It's been a while! Tonight we are at @stninianshigh for the junior debating competition. We have Katie, Nazee, Noah and Rose competing! @HolyroodSec #AspireBelieveCommunicate

Once again I'm flabbergasted by the quality of our young people! Everyone performed brilliantly and for the first time competing in a debate we managed to get a team through to the semi-finals and narrowly missed out on 2! Well done Katie, Nazee, Noah & Rose @HolyroodSec #ABC

Sadly, there will be no debating this week as we are heading over to play the S6s at football. The only debate will be by how many the teachers will win... #jinxedit
