Kilgraston’s school magazine 2019-2020 Cor Unum
The 2019 - 2020 edition of Kilgraston’s school magazine, Cor Unum, has just arrived in school – and it’s certainly been a 12 months like no other!
In a year in which Kilgraston celebrated its 90th birthday amidst a global pandemic, Cor Unum rejoices in all the wonderful activities the Kilgraston family has taken part in both pre- and post COVID.
This year’s front cover by Lower Sixth’s, Sana, is a stunning painting of a swan and her signets. The painting was the overall winner of this year’s Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust Schools’ art competition.
With 2020 being Kilgraston’s 90th year as a school, you can read about the early years of the school, as well as some alumnae memories. The school magazine also looks at 2020 and our summer 90th anniversary picnic.
Fantastic pupil contributions fill the pages with a brilliant article on page 16 on ‘Forgotten Heroines’ by 2019-2020 History Prefect, Julie Chainey.
Our academic departments such as Computing Science and Mathematics give us updates on pre-COVID events, visits and competitions.
This year, Kilgraston’s traditional musical activities have had to be altered with the restrictions of COVID but that has not stopped Kilgraston’s Director of Music, Mr McAuley, keeping music as an integral part of our community.
In his article on page 22 of the school magazine, he looks at the importance of music and how it can impact on pupil wellbeing.
He said: “It is our desire that the music department is a happy place, a safe place, a creative place and a place where our young people could be themselves, take risks and flourish.”
Copies can be found at the School’s Reception or you can read it here.
