Jennifer Galloway (19....) is Principal Oboeist with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and recently she joined the ranks of world's best musicians to take part in the World Orchestra for Peace at concerts in the Carnegie Hall, New York and the Chicago Symphony Center. She was one of 3 oboeists playing with the orchestra, which is made up of 48 musicians from around the world. The World Orchestra was set up by Sir Georg Solti to mark the 50th anniversary of the UN. The concert at the end of October was to mark the 100th anniversary of Solti's birth.



Jennifer is the grand-daughter of Tom Galloway who was an inspiring Principal Teacher of Music in Bell Baxter in the 1960s. Her father was the late Richard Galloway who was an Assistant music adviser in Fife and then Music Adviser for Central Scotland.

Kathryn Gemmell was chosen to participate in the Euroscholar scheme in 2010. She was put forward with sponsorship from Rotary Club of the Howe of Fife. She travelled to Strasbourg in January 2011 with 24 other Scottish pupils for 5 days and had the opportunity to use her language skills by surveying local people, putting together a presentation and working with pupils of different nationalities. The climax was a debate in the parliament chamber, at which Kathryn was elected secretary for one of the six discussion groups. She then had to present her group's proposals in both English and French to the full house. The visit ended with a ceilidh in which young people from Portugal, France, Greece, and Germany took part. After her experience, she gave a presentation to the Howe of Fife Rotary Club together with fellow BBHS pupil, Francesca Hill.

Roddy Gibb


Roddy Gibb befriended an Indian family when he was taking part in a voluntary teaching programme, and he is now trying to raise funds to help the family out of poverty. He first met the family when he was teaching English in the north-east of India 5 years ago. It seems that the family were about to be evicted form their home recently and from the land which their family had worked for generations. This would leave them without the means to pay for the education of their son and daughter. Roddy has taken part in the Nevis River Race, organised by the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team, and he was hoping to raise funds to help the family.
