A talented Scottish Hockey player has achieved straight A Higher results while balancing the demands of high-level sports with academic study.

With a passion for both science and sport, Morven B (S5) is shaping a varied future path by advancing her studies in S6 and aiming for a degree in Chemical Engineering, all while maintaining her excellence on the hockey field.

Morven said: “Sitting five Highers whilst also playing hockey for Scotland has made this year very busy but with the support of my family and the school I have been able to prioritise my time and and achieve the results which will allow me to apply to university for a degree in Chemical Engineering. I am delighted with my results and I am extremely grateful to have had wonderful teachers who have supported me throughout this year.”
