The school cafeteria provides a range of hot and cold meals and snacks at the morning interval and at lunchtime. There is a separate ‘diner’ selling a range of sandwiches, wraps, crisps, fruit, etc, on the school stage. There is also a Salad Bar. The cost of a typical main meal is £1.50 and £2.50. The cafeteria may also be used by pupils who bring a packed lunch. There are two vending machines selling bottled water and healthy snacks. Pupils taking part in lunch-time activities such as the choirs or other clubs, may be allowed to go for lunch five minutes earlier than the rest of the school, at their teacher’s discretion.

The school's Senior Leadership Team consists of:

Depute Rectors Miss Catherine Cameron, Mr Sid Gallagher.
The Senior Leadership Team is responsible for formulating and implementing school and education authority policies and for overseeing all aspects of the life and work of the school.
Under Scottish government legislation and Argyll and Bute Council policy smoking is not allowed anywhere in the school buildings or in the school grounds. This applies to staff, pupils and visitors to the school. Pupils who are found smoking will be discouraged from doing so by means of punishments and by being required to attend smoking cessation classes organised by the school’s Health Promotion staff.
Pupils have a say in the way the school works through the School Council. This meets regularly throughout the year to discuss issues and concerns raised by pupils and consult the Senior Management Team about these. In turn, the Senior Management Team can consult the Council about school policies, developments and other matters which concern pupils. Each year group has two elected representatives on the Council. Elections for these positions are held in September each year.
During the SQA exams in May, pupils may study at home and will be shown on the school register as being on study leave. This does not apply to prelim exams.
