Mintlaw pupils rewarded for their excellence throughout the year

The S1-3 prizes were presented by Councillor Norman Smith and the S4-6 prizes by Fiona Cruickshank, Quality Improvement Officer, both of whom were most impressed with the pupils.

The Mintlaw Academy orchestra, choir and groove band provided the musical interludes throughout the programme which was enjoyed by the families, pupils and staff present.

Mintlaw Academy gave thanks to Happy Plant who donated the flower arrangements that helped decorate the stage and to MACBI for the loan of their chairs.

A huge well done to all the pupils who received a certificate and/or award for their endeavours and resulting success.
