Modern Languages Update

The National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher prelims have now been completed and marked, We are currently speaking to individuals about their results and deciding on next steps etc.
The prelim results have indicated  that students really need to spend more time developing and practising listening skills outside the classroom and for this reason we have uploaded a lot of listening material for them to access at home via the "Edmodo" website. We will now be setting at least one piece of listening homework each week, from now until the final exams in May.


Please support us by ensuring that listening homework is completed as we know this will make a huge difference to grades.


Here are some important dates for diaries:
Students who study both French and Spanish are advised to sign up early for a oral exam slot to avoid having both oral exams close together.
  • The oral exams for S4 will commence week beginning 3rd March.
  • S5 oral exams will commence week beginning 10th March.
  • Higher French Monday 10th March AM / Friday 14th March AM
  • Higher Spanish Tuesday 11th March PM / Thursday 13th March PM
  • Higher German 12th March AM
