TGSi Politics Show

The protest song lives on at TGSi.

The Gordon Schools is going election crazy, in fact we are going DEMOCRAZY. To celebrate the approaching Scottish elections some S3 Modern Studies pupils are holding their own elections on Wednesday.

To help the hustings two groups of students have penned politically motivated polemics which they are also entering into a national competition.

Scots Nicht

A Cold and windy Tuesday night in November saw the annual celebration of all things Scottish and Doric at The Gordon Schools.

Performers from across the school came onto stage to perform songs, dances, poems and musical items. Of course the standard was excellent.

Unfortunately for some unknown reason the quality of recording for the second half  leaves a bit to be desired but the performances can still be appreciated.

Happy Listening.
