message: The way I read the article it gives the impression that the effects of the fire were relatively short term. (i.e. senior students were back with a few days). It is true that 5th and 6th year students were back within a few days, but I was a 3rd year at the time and was off for almost a fortnight. 1st and 2nd years were off longer. The building itself was not fully repaired for sometime either. We were still using portacabins as classrooms when I moved from the area in July 1997 (5 months later).--Liam Mason 13:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The 1997 Fire 

message: I believe there is some sort of link between the school and Robert Falcon Scott but, as I can't verify the details, I haven't added them. The line "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." is inscribed on the memorial to Scott's party at Observation Hill in Antarctica and as a pupil I have a vague recollection that a ship's figurehead on display in the school is from one of Scott's vessels. Possibly further connected with Michael Scott/the Scotts of Balwearie? Can anyone verify or elaborate? Mutt Lunker 00:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: After I added a link to http://balweariehighschool.org.uk, another user has questioned the validity of this site. The domain is however listed on
Scottish Schools Online and Scottish Government, which ought to strongly support its validity. If anyone can shed further light on the status of the site, please go ahead. Mutt Lunker (talk) 01:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Apparent school's own site

message: The entry was vandalised, probably by a pupil. The entry was extended to include comments about "Jessi" and "amys arse". These have now been removed. The date for the school opening as a comprehensive was listed as 1442. I have changed this to 1972, as this was listed in another wiki article. I am not sure if this date is correct.62.6.161.131 (talk) 14:03, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: School entry vandalised

message: This section claims "the conclusion to the report was that Balwearie High School is considered to be one of the top schools in the whole of Scotland, getting the second most "excellent" grades for individual areas of any school inspected to date." I may have missed it but I can't find this in the conclusion of the report, or anywhere else. One may or may not be able to draw these conclusions, but if it it isn't stated thus in the cited text it should come out. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:27, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
