KPA - Wine Tasting Evening

Wine Tasting Evening
Friday 24th February, 7pm till 9.30pm

We at the KPA are hosting a wine tasting evening on Friday 24th February in the Library. We would love you to come along and join us for what is purely a social evening. The evening will consist of tastings on 6 different wines along with a light supper of cheese and biscuits. Mr Frank MacGinty will be our wine connoisseur and host for the evening, willing to share his love and extensive knowledge of wines from around the world. There will be a fun quiz with some lovely drinkable prizes for those that are the lucky winners! There will be no wine for sale on the evening but Frank will supply information on where it can be purchased if required.

Tickets are priced at £8 each and can be purchased either at main school reception or by e-mailing [email protected].

Please come along and join us in what will be a fun
and entertaining evening.

An Open Day to remember…

Families began the day with a welcome speech in the Chapel by the Headmistress, Mrs Dorothy MacGinty and Head Girl, Susie Dougall. On exiting the Chapel, visitors enjoyed a stunning performance by the school choir. The talk was followed by a personal tour of the school campus and classrooms, where families could take part in the numerous interactive activities on offer. Many visitors gathered around the school stables to meet the 18 horses and ponies onsite and visited the outstanding sports facilities, science centre and art classrooms. In the Junior Years, the pupils and visitors took part in a very competitive ‘Highland Games’; haggis hurling being a particular highlight! With the addition of a new art room and library, it was a great opportunity for Head of Junior Years, Mr Andrew Stewart to show visitors the exciting developments at Kilgraston School.
It was a hugely successful day for Kilgraston. If you were unable to make the open day, don’t worry. At Kilgraston, everyday is an open day and we welcome families at any point during the year. If you would like to visit us and see what Kilgraston has to offer, please contact the Admissions office on 01738 812 257 or email [email protected].
