Scottish Children’s Book Awards

Barrhead High School Book Group members were delighted to be invited to the awards ceremony of the Scottish Children’s Book Awards held recently in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow.

They have been reading and reviewing the shortlisted books over the last few months and voting for their favourites. There was an opportunity to meet the authors and the ceremony itself involved a quiz testing the pupils on their book knowledge. Barrhead pupils came sixth out of 23 schools from all over Scotland. Well done!

Friday Lunchtime Drop in Health Clinic

From 7th March, our school nurse, Ellen McEwing will be available every Friday lunchtime for a drop in health clinic.
Ellen will be based in the Counsellor’s Room which is round the corner in the Dealston part of our school.
Pupils do not need to make an appointment. Ellen will be available to give advice. She is experienced in running a school lunchtime clinic.
Pupils can either go along during lunchtime to the drop in service or else they can contact their Pupil Support teacher to arrange an appointment.

Anyone wanting to know more information about this service should contact Mrs Gordon (Depute for Pupil Support) at the school.
