School Concert

Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions, we had to cancel our musical night due to take place on Wednesday 15th December, however we did manage to put on a performance on Monday 20th December at 2pm.

It was a great success and showcase for the talent that we have within the student population at Castlebrae. It was great to see that some parents/carers managed to attend however I am aware that many were unable to attend the re-arranged event due to work commitments. I would like to thank all the performers and our music teacher Mr McLaren for their fantastic efforts in putting on a very impressive show. Hopefully this will be the first of many such nights.

Skills for Work: Engineering

Well done to the S3 skills for work class. They have been working with The Rural and Urban Training Scheme for the last few weeks arranged through CDT. The class have enjoyed learning about motorbike maintenance and safety as well as developing the skills that will help them find enjoyable employment when they leave school.

Cake Designer Demonstration

Leave a comment

Four of our Hospitality (Creative Cake Production) students went to see a demonstration by Paul Bradford of Truly Scrumptious Cakes and were fascinated by the way he put together his Witch Handbag for Halloween. They say it takes an expert to make the things look easy and that is certainly what he did!

Paul has been interested in cake decorating since he was at primary school and now has his own business. He lists amongst his customers members of the Royal Family and Celebrities and is regularly invited to Italy to demonstrate his skills.

The girls enjoyed their evening and are now hoping that we can get Paul into school to run a workshop for the class.
