Janice Jamieson Award for reading winner: Matthew Hebdon. Runners-up: Finn Harris, Fraser Davidson, Aulay Webster, Nell Murray.
Babsie Caig Role Model joint winners: Carey McCubbin and Theo Robson.
Maureen McShane Trophy for Effort winner: Mack McLean.
As well as the presentation of all the special awards, the sports day trophies were re-presented along with the Paul Jones Cup to the football team.
Focus then turned to the staff who are sadly leaving before bidding farewell to primary sevens.
Before leaving the primary school hall, the primary seven pupils recited a Dr Seuss poem and then received gifts before making their way to sit at the high school side of the Heughan Hall, a tradition which has been established since moving to the joint campus.
