Not every day was spent in academic lessons. School log books refer to sports practice, physical/military drill, inter-school sports competitions, and the sporting achievements of both present and former pupils.
Beyond the standard record series, many of our school collections include magazines and photographs which show school sports teams and record their triumphs and disappointments! In addition, information about school trips, choirs, plays, and fundraising activities can be seen with varying regularity through the years!
In the playground, hopscotch, skipping, football and other games were played, often accompanied by songs and rhymes, many of which are still in use today and will be familiar to anyone who grew up in the Highlands. As well as playground games, organised school sports days brought fun to countless generations.
