Titanic Museum - Belfast
On Wednesday 25th May, the Lower Third, with Mr Stewart, flew to Belfast and back to visit the Titanic museum.
The girls have been studying the story of the tragic cruise liner throughout the term and this educational visit enhanced their learning immeasurably. They took part in a workshop that involved semaphore and Morse code and then had a tour of the ‘SS Nomadic’ the last surviving White Star Line ship. The girls and staff then thoroughly enjoyed a tour around the museum itself and a walk around the area where the Titanic was built. It was a deeply moving experience and a terrific adventure.
Two planes and four buses in one day!
Tune Friday
Every Friday in the Junior Years, a different year group performs in front of the school for 15 minutes. Everybody in that year group is encouraged to participate by playing their musical instrument, singing or dancing. Ability is irrelevant, it is about getting up there and sharing your hard work and talent!
Well done girls!

National Schools Equestrian Association Show Jumping Competition
On Saturday 14th May, Sasha Niven, Alannah Grieve and Kyla Grieve travelled down to the borders to represent Kilgraston in the National Schools Equestrian Association Show Jumping Competition at Floors Castle. The classes were huge with 50-60 riders in each and the girls all rode some brilliant rounds with Sasha and Kyla going double clear but just 2 seconds off the winner in the 75cm to come 8th (Sasha) and 7th (Kyla). Alannah has only had her new pony Freddie a month but they are really getting to know each other well. They flew around the 95cm in the fastest time of the day but just rolled a pole in the jump off costing them a placing. Very well done to all 3 girls.
Kyla’s pony is sadly lame at the moment so Kilgraston’s very own Clio stepped in for the outing at the last minute so Kyla could still compete, she really is a very special riding school pony!
KPA Spring Fair 2016
Basking in the glorious sunshine, Kilgraston Parents’ Association (KPA) hosted the annual Spring Fair and Tennis Tournament.
Through a lot of hard work and months of meetings and planning, the KPA delivered a fantastic fun-filled afternoon of activities for the whole family. Parents and children took part in an extremely competitive doubles tennis tournament. Off the courts, children spent the afternoon on the bouncy castles, trampolines and feasting at the many sweet and food stalls around the grounds. Girls from Kilgraston School set up their own stalls selling cakes, ice-creams and raffle tickets whilst staff put on a number of sporting activities for all to get involved. Throughout the afternoon, the Kilgraston Jazz Band ensured that the air was filled with lively notes coming from the Pavilion, which certainly added to the fun filled atmosphere.
The day was a huge success with over 400 visitors attending. We would like to thank all of the businesses, families, staff and individuals who supported the Spring Fair and of course applaud the KPA on the tremendous effort they put in making the day such a great success.
