ACHIEVEMENTS 2018-2019

Head Teacher’s Message

Session 2018-2019 has proven to be

another tremendously successful year for

the pupils of Strathaven Academy.

While we celebrate the academic

achievements of our pupils at our award

ceremonies, we also wish to celebrate and

recognise the amazing skill and talent our

pupils demonstrate through a broad range

of activities, from sport, music,

photography and art to fundraising and

volunteering.

Strathaven Academy encourages every

young person to become involved in

activities that not only develop

confidence and self-esteem, but also

provide a sense of achievement and

enjoyment. We are proud of what every young person achieves, no matter the discipline or

the level.

Whether the achievement is in school, the local community, or at a Scottish, national or

international level, we understand the commitment, effort and dedication required to achieve

such high standards.

We also pay tribute to our parents/carers and acknowledge the time and energy that are

required to support young people participating in these activities and events - their

achievements would not be possible without the encouragement and support of family

members.

In the years to come, we look forward to hearing of further successes and triumphs as our

pupils challenge themselves to be the very best at whatever they choose.

Congratulations and good luck.
