First, I would like to mention that it has done absolute wonders for the School to have been blessed with such superb weather! Yes, the inclement weather since the beginning of term will have helped the boys in our Fifth Form, Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth settle down to revision, but I am also a great believer in boys having fun and playing sport. Last week was an action packed week at Merchiston, and it was wonderful to host (for the 15th consecutive year) our ‘Primary Schools’ Evening of Music’. This was a very happy, collaborative occasion, on which each participating school presented a programme of fifteen minutes before coming together for a massed choral item!
