We recently held an online Study Skills event, which we recorded.

If you missed the event, or want to refresh you memory on how best to study, then view the film below.

S5/6 Assessment Calendar

Dear Parent/Carer,
An assessment calendar was issued to all S5/6 pupils undertaking N5, Higher and Advanced Higher courses this year.

This calendar contains ALL key assessments for S5/6 for ALL subjects. Pupils should highlight relevant assessments to ensure they are aware of when assessments are scheduled.

There is also a Prelim Diet scheduled for the 25th of January until the 4th of February: details and timings for individual subjects will be issued separately nearer the time.

All assessments outwith the Prelim and Final Exam schedule, included in this calendar, will be undertaken in class time and will, in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as future exam cancellation as a result of school closures, be used as potential evidence of attainment and included in the production of estimates.

All pupils will receive the supports they are entitled to for all SQA exams and for all assessments included in this calendar.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries or need any advice or any particular resources and I will do my best to provide any support required.
Kind Regards:
Mr Beaton

Virtual Careers Week 2020

Virtual Careers Week 2020

This week Barrhead High will be exploring the world of work – virtually!

Pupils from S1-S6 will be developing their understanding of different career sectors, labour market information and business enterprise whilst additionally developing their career management skills and learning more about CV writing, personal statements and interview skills.

This would not have been possible without the help of many individuals and business partners who have submitted some fantastic videos on a huge range of careers from midwifery to theatre management.

Our S4 World of Work Ambassadors will also be assisting our S1 classes in learning about myworldofwork.com

Here is an overview of this week’s events:

S1 – Introduction to My World of Work

S2 – Career & Job Profiles

S3 – Business Enterprise Competition & Introduction to Skills Profiling

S4 – Scheduled for January 2021

S5 & S6 – Career & Job Profiles

S5 & S6 – Career Management Skills: CV writing; Interview Skills; Personal Statement Writing; Applying to College
