Well done to our Under 13s football team (S1) who won the East and Midlothian League Cup. It was a thrilling game against Lasswade, which saw our team lead 6-1 at half time. It was a game of two halves as Lasswade came back into the game and managed to score a few goals to bring the score back to 6-5 with five minutes left to play. Thankfully, the team managed to hold on and it finished 6-5 to Dalkeith. The trophy they won is called the Charlie Wood Cup. Charlie was a history teacher here at DHS who then became Principal Teacher of History and he used to run the football leagues for all of the schools. This is the first time Dalkeith High School has won the cup, so it is great to have it here on display.
Our 2024 athletics team saw some great results at the Midlothian Schools’ Championships this year. Lots of medals, records, personal bests and stand out performances were celebrated.
After impressive performances in the relays, Dalkeith came away with the overall win by 50 points to retain our title from last year. Team PE could not be more proud, particularly for the support our pupils showed team mates and friends from other schools. Whether injured, overwhelmed, winning or losing they showed great motivation and encouragement.
Well done to the whole team! #DeterminedHappySuccessful
