The hard work and achievements of pupils at Kirkcaldy High were recognised at the school’s recent prizegiving ceremony.

The event, which took place last month before the end of the school term, was a chance to reflect on the students’ work over the last year and to acknowledge their successes both academically and for extra curricular activities. This year’s special guest speaker was the school’s former Rector Derek Allan, who retired from the role last summer after 13 years at KHS. The evening included performances from the school’s string ensemble, guitar group and choir.
