AS the exam results dropped through letterboxes up and down Scotland, there was plenty to celebrate at both Buckie Community High School and Milne’s High. At BCHS, four students – Lily Clarke, Amber Smith, Jake Newlands and Chelsey Hahmann – were being hailed for achieving five straight A grades at Higher. In the National 5 exams, there were six straight A celebrations for Erica Wood and Max Gill, while Emily Strowger earned herself five As plus a Higher. Over at Milne’s, Ailsa Young completed a year to remember with five As at Higher to add to her Dux award in June. Joining her in jubilation were National 5 students Carla Morrison, Hannah Kingham, Callum Hughes, Roddy Manson and Emily Dale. In addition to her National 5s Emily secured a Higher. The results left BCHS rector Neil Johnson and his Milne’s colleague Trish Cameron overjoyed. Mr Johnson told the Advertiser: “I’m delighted with these results, you don’t get five or six As without a lot of hard work and it’s great to see this being recognised. “The national Higher pass rate appears to be down overall so it’s good news to have four students who’ve achieved five As.”
