Rotary Club Youth Speaks Competition
Well done to S3 students Ailidh Hamilton, Brogan Meechan and Peter Douglas-Kellie who took part in the annual Rotary Club Youth Speaks competition last week, hosted this year by Mearns Castle High School.
The team delivered an excellent presentation on ‘The Commercialisation of Christmas’ and were runners up in the senior category. Ailidh was the team’s main speaker, while Brogan chaired the presentation and Peter delivered Barrhead High School’s vote of thanks.
Well done to all of them!

World Book Day

Barrhead English dept celebrated World Book Day by asking “If YOU were a book…which book would you be?”
All the pupils produced a poster to show what book they are most like. The response has been AMAZING. We have had everything from “Where’s Wally?” to the dictionary and “The perks of being a wallflower”. A large number of staff also took part.
There were prizes for the best entry from each of the first year classes. The winners are pictured below with their entries:
Tori with “Alice In Wonderland”, Mark with “Justice, truth and pizza”, Andrew with “The Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy”, Sophie with “Little Red Riding Hood” and Jim with “The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.
All pupils were also offered a World Book Day token and the chance to get a FREE book written just for today.
The English dept walls have never looked so colourful.
