More than 150 parents and staff gathered for the annual PBIS Burns Night on Friday. Guests were greeted by a (rather cold) piper and then enjoyed an evening of Scottish food, drink, poetry, song and dance all in honour of the 18th century Scottish poet, Robert Burns.
The Haggis was welcomed in the traditional manner, with a wonderful toast from Iain Murray. Guests then enjoyed an evening of entertainment including Burns poems and songs and wonderful after dinner speeches from Cindy Kennaugh and Scott Sophos. The ceilidh started later in the evening with Alastair and his band keeping everyone on the dancefloor and Louise Hutchison doing a marvellous job of walking everyone through the dances!
Come on, it’s not rocket science. For some people it is! A 2022 graduate from PBIS, Ilyes is currently working on his bachelor's degree with a focus on mechanical engineering, physics, and computer science at Sorbonne University in Paris. Apart from his academic work, he’s also working on a modest side project: developing a jet engine. His approach, in his own words, is to “learn as much as possible about everything” so he can apply his knowledge to real-world situations and make the world a smarter, better place.
