Huge Dziękuję to our performers, and Mr Matysiak and the catering team for a great Burns supper tonight. They feed hundreds of people every day and go above and beyond for special events.

For Holocaust Memorial Day, our 3rd form heard a live interview with Mala Tribich MBE. After the Nazis invaded Poland, she was forced into a ghetto, used for slave labour, and eventually sent to the notorious Belsen concentration camp, aged 14. A powerful testimony from history.

Well done to Ingrid McC, Yaroslava S, Beth D & Eppie HJ who took part in the Team Scotland debating competition at ESMS today. Although they didn't qualify for the Cambridge debate, they put up a good show against experienced opposition and gained valuable experience

The Upper was packed for tonight's grand final of House Debating: Henry L and George M of Glencorse proposed an Australian-style teenage social media ban, ably opposed by Nimrat K and Sope A of College East. It was a close contest but well done to this year's winners, Glencorse!

Glencorse and Kimmerghame shone in tonight's House Debating Semi-Final: Boris TS and Koki N proposed that this house welcomes the reelection of Mr Trump, opposed by Henry L and George M. A very professional debate with good points on both sides; narrow win for GL. Well done all!

Another beautiful Remembrance Sunday Commemoration at Fettes. Great talk by @FC_Expeditions about courage, and wonderful to see the Fettes family together and on amazing form.

Remembrance at Fettes is a reminder of the fact that we are an organic family: the prep school's poppies recall each name on the memorial, and displays tell the stories of our 80th anniversaries in 1944

Great to welcome @DrJCrossland for a fascinating talk on his book about OF Robert Bruce Lockhart (S1900): someone who lived up to his advice 'Always be adventurous'
