S5 Hospitality pupils alongside the Music Department served tea and put on a concert for the senior citizens of Broughty Ferry to celebrate Christmas.

Around 100 pensioners from across the area attended the event.

S5 hospitality pupils managed to successfully serve everyone with a cup of tea or coffee and many homemade Christmas treats.

Well done to ALL involved!

Not to be outdone by the S3 classes, Mrs MacLeans S4 class produced their take on Christmas cakes using a sponge filling rather than fruit.  Well done!

S3 tried something new with Miss Kelly this year and made a rich fruit cake, covered with marzipan then iced and decorated their cakes.  The cakes turned out to be a huge success and looked fabulous.  Close ups of the cakes can be found in the gallery.

Congratulations to our three entrants who took part in this years Young Chef Competition through the Abertay Rotary Club.  Jamie Cox (S2)  Nathan Graham (S5) and Cameron Lamb (S6) produced three very high quality meals within their £15 budget making the judges final decision a very difficult one.

Well done Nathan on getting through to the next part of the competition and we wish you the best of luck at the Regional heats!
