Celtic Day at the Boys' School
Celtic Day at the Boys' School

Hark! When the night is falling
Hear, Hear! The pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling, down through the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men!
Spirits were definitely high, the blood was a-leaping and our clans were definitely calling loudly and proudly out on the… well, the field, not quite a glen, but a perfect spot for a day of Highland fun!
Without doubt the most favoured day on the school calendar for boys and staff alike, Celtic Day is our own special event to celebrate our Scottish heritage and acknowledge the founders of our School.
From the first strains of the bagpipe, to the last wet sponge thrown on the field, the day is universally acclaimed as ‘the best.’ This year’s Celtic Day certainly lived up to its reputation providing the tradition, formalities, humour and excitement that our boys have come to expect.
You can see how the day unfolded by opening the photo gallery below.
As always, we must thank our Parents and Friends Association, chaired by Laura Lane, who do a fantastic job in providing support on the day from preparing shortbread for the guest’s morning tea, offering haggis to the boys (who let’s be honest, would have preferred the shortbread!), to being at the forefront of the games on the field. Our sincere thanks to a wonderful group of parents.
