‘Fantastic’ Oban High School Prize-giving

The atrium of the high school was full of proud families, there to see students collecting awards for their work in school over the past year.

The top table featuring Peter Bain, the outgoing and incoming school captains and guest speaker were piped into the room by talented piper Calan McGuigan.

The night was excellently hosted by the 2023-2024 Head Girl Suzannah Whittle and Head Boy Finlay Brown as they opened the night with an address to the audience about their time as school captains.

Head Teacher Peter Bain then gave the prize-giving address where he spoke about the importance of Oban High School’s vision and values which are painted on the walls of the school, and why it is important to allow students to get whatever qualifications they need for their futures.

Former Head Boy of Oban High School, Jamie MacGregor, was the guest speaker of the night. Jamie spoke fondly about his time at the school, and what he has done since then, as well as assuring students that “there is never a correct path to take” and he is now “In a job I absolutely love and I’m back in a place I absolutely love.”

Throughout the night there were musical pieces performed by Eirinn Higgins, who sang a beautiful rendition of ‘Waves’ by Dean Lewis. The Traditional School of Music wowed with their performance of Òran a’ Chlydesdale and Tyler Graham played an impressive solo on guitar.
