  3. Senior school information Decision to return to school is extremely important Pupils should be looking not only at academic achievement but opportunity to fulfil potential and to embrace challenges of the future creating positive pathways for life beyond school. This pathway continues from S4 ( senior phase ) – and for many young people to the end of S6. Continue to choose appropriately (Senior phase 2-3 year process for most pupils) All senior pupils are role models for our younger school, all S6 will be prefects and expected to undertake additional responsibilities (conduct, attitude, appearance – I.C.A.R.E) @CHS_CHRYSTON https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/nl/chrystonhigh/
