The reception with Nicola Sturgeon took place today (early morning our time) and she met with the East Renfrewshire group.

As indicated in the previous post, Euan had been selected to represent the group and he spoke very well on behalf of ERC and the North East hubs. He is dressed in kung fu gear as he was also performing later – hopefully we will get some pictures of that!

A group of East Renfrewshire pupils are currently visiting China, accompanied by our own Principal Teacher of Modern Language, Miss Catriona Ness. One of our pupils, Euan Stevenson (S6), is also part of the party.

They have linked up with the partner school and also had some time sightseeing and learning about the culture of the host country. This has included a visit to the Great wall.

Euan performed a tea ceremony at the partnership school; however this Sunday (tomorrow), Nicola Sturgeon is meeting with the group in Beijing and Euan has been selected to speak to her. He’ll be inviting her back to Barrhead for a cuppa next!

The BBC will be there too so look out for some mentions in the media!

We are looking forward to a full report on their return.
