Kelso High School

Celebration

of

Achievement

October 2020

Welcome

Due to COVID-19, we are unable to host our traditional

Celebration of Achievement Evening. This yearly event is

important to us and provides a platform to formally recognise and

celebrate the huge variety of successes that the Young People

from our school have achieved over the past year.

Within our school calendar, this evening event is one of our

highlights and so we have had to think creatively how to meet and

pass on our congratulations to all those who have been

nominated this year. We appreciated that it is not the same

however, at this present time, it is vital that we create memories

and opportunities to share with the wider community.

At Kelso High School we continue to take PRIDE in ourselves, our

school and in our community: we are certainly extremely proud of

all of our young people and of course, the achievements

highlighted within our programme.

The continued support from parents and friends of the school is

greatly appreciated and is undoubtedly a fantastic strength that

we as a community have.

We wish you all every success for this year.
