He spoke of the “many and varied” successes of the school’s students – both academic and in extra-curricular activities saying: “our award winners have had to work hard and they should be proud of their achievements”.

Among the audience of pupils, staff and families were invited guests, including special guest John Swinney, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills.

Addressing the assembly hall, Mr Phee also spoke of the school’s cultural and creative events, leadership opportunities and school trips.

He praised pupils for the “fantastic sum” of over £20,000 which they raised to support good causes and different charities.

During the course of the evening, Joseph Allison was named as the school’s senior dux, while Craig Yeardly and Hannah Young were the senior proxime accessits.

Junior dux is Patrick Campbell, with Charlie Meikle and Abbie Stewart the junior proxime accessits.

Summing up in his speech, Mr Phee said: “Last year was a good year, a successful year in terms of attainment, destinations, how well you take advantage of all the opportunities on offer to you...but just as important, in some respects more important, is the work we do, together with your parents, to help you grow into fine young adults.

“Young men and women who know the difference between right and wrong, with a strong sense of social justice.

“At the heart of that work are our school values – respect, love, tolerance, compassion, forgiveness and faith.

“Seeing you put these values into practice every day gives me the confidence to say that when you leave school I know they are going to have a good life, but you will also lead a good life. A life full of promise and hope, a life full of opportunities but not in a selfish way, not at the expense of others.”
