FHSD 40th Anniversary Ball

Please join us for FHSD's 40th Birthday Celebration at Peebles Hydro on Saturday 1st March 2025.

This will be a wonderful family celebration of FHSD and is open to all ages - we're all looking forward to being joined by pupils past and present and their families.

There will be a raffle with some great prizes and all profits from the event will be split between two charities which we have supported over the years,  Borders Children's Charity and Inspiring Life.

Borders Children’s Charity (SC026072) has been supporting children in the Scottish Borders for over 50 years. Their work eases financial hardship, increases inclusion and improves resilience by enabling opportunities that focus on improving well-being and quality of life, building self-confidence and advancing education. 

Inspiring Life (SC049009) aims to raise awareness of mental health issues, offer information, and signpost to support available. They fundraise so they can donate money to mental health charities, support groups, activity groups and to individuals who work to improve mental health and wellbeing in our community. FHSD has a long-standing relationship with this charity which was started by Freda Douglas in memory of her daughter Evie, who was a former pupil and teacher at FHSD.
