To our S6. You have left us early. We didn't get the chance to say goodbye the way we should have. However - you did make friends for life, you did grow to become young adults and you did excel - be positive - your future will be bright because you are.

The only thing that matters now is the health of our community. School will be here when we are through this - and by being a strong community, we will get through this. Uddingston, Viewpark, Tannochside, Bothwell and Cambuslang are great communities. Keep well everyone.
