I started Beaconhurst in 2000 and have therefore been a pupil at the school for 14 years. My first memory of the school was in Junior 1, on my first day, when I found out that my teacher was Miss Blair and that memory has stuck with me over the years. Currently, I am studying PE, Maths and Biology at Higher level and am enjoying them all. When I was made a member of the school authority, I was very happy as I have lots of ideas to further improve the schools good reputation and to make Beaconhurst a better place.
This year I am looking forward to the Prom and the social evenings that we will have planned for 5th and 6th year.
Beaconhurst, I would say to them that the school is a very rewarding place to be. The staff will help you with any problems that you may have and all the pupils are lovely and will help you no matter what.
My favourite actor would have to be Adam Sandler. In my spare time I play hockey for Stirling Wanderers and play squash. The words I would use to describe myself would be approachable, caring and competitive; probably from all the hockey that I play! Blair Fletcher, Head Boy
I started Beaconhurst at the start of 2012, aged 15. I am studying Advanced Higher Music and Advanced Higher Drama, as well as Higher Geography.
My first memory of Beaconhurst was someone giving me a Christmas card! I was shocked when appointed Head Girl; when Mr Owen asked me, I just looked at him, shocked for a few seconds! I am looking forward to getting to know the younger pupils this year. I would say to anyone thinking of coming to Beaconhurst to just go for it and throw themselves at everything the school has to offer. It has such a community feel.
My favourite film is Les Miserables and in my spare time I go swimming and play the piano and flute. Amé Whitehead, Head Girl
I started Beaconhurst in Junior 1. My first memory of the school is being allowed to play with the building blocks with my friends during prep in Junior School.
This year I am studying Advanced Higher Maths, Advanced Higher Physics, Higher Biology and Higher History. When I was told I had been

If someone was coming to appointed Deputy Head Boy, I was surprised,
nervous, excited and very ‘up for the challenge.’ I am looking forward to being involved in Expressive Arts, taking part in Young Enterprise, applying to University and confronting my fear of speaking in public.
My favourite band is the Artic Monkeys and in my spare time I like to play squash and hockey and enjoy skiing, hill walking, climbing and camping. I would describe myself as determined, hard working, ambitious, friendly and competitive. Henry Oldfield, Deputy Head Boy
I came to Beaconhurst in Nursery when I was only 3 years old, and the first memory I have of the school is going into J1 and getting a soft Beaconhurst teddy bear, which I still have! This year I am doing Higher English, Higher PE and Advanced Higher Drama. I thought I would apply for school authority and hoped to be a school prefect. When I found out it I was Deputy Head Girl, I was rather excited and I was just eager to get started.
This year I am definitely looking forward to the school Expressive Arts show Les Miserables, as it is one of my favourite shows. I am also looking forward to playing with the recently formed folk group as we play songs from my favourite bands like Mumford and Sons. I love just having a good time whilst playing my ukulele.
I’d say if anyone was thinking about joining the school, to go for it, because it’s a great atmosphere and everyone is so friendly! When it comes to the end of sixth year, I don’t really want to leave because this place means so much to me, it has made me the weird, whacky person I am today. Jodie Differ, Deputy Head Girl
