Two things I would ask of you:
1. All parents/ carers and students (P6/P7/S1 & S2) are invited to attend our STEM Fair. We are sure the evening will be a great success and that many of you will come along on the evening.
2. If you work in a STEM role and wish to be part of this event, then I would be delighted to hear from you – partcularly those of you that are ex-pupils of Barrhead High. If you are able and willing to share your STEM experience with our students, then contact the school office in the first instance and I will get back to you.
