Litter Pick
A group of our senior pupils carried out a litter pick in the local area in response to requests from local residents. We are keen to work in partnership with our local community and we have more litter picks planned for the new year.
Christmas Can Collection
Barrhead High School’s Rights Respecting School group organised a Dress As You Please day on Wednesday 19th December. Instead of paying money to come in casual dress, the school had their annual Christmas Can Collection and pupils and staff brought in a fantastic collection of cans and other dried goods.
These were then passed on to the Barrhead Social Work Department to be distributed to those in need in our local community during the festive period. This is our 8th annual collection and we are delighted by the kindness and generosity of our pupils.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to all.
Mary’s Meals Xmas Appeal
Thank you to our Art department and pupils who helped to create a wonderful festive window display for the charity shop Mary’s Meals. The design was also used for our annual Christmas card.
Movember Appeal
A group of our senior pupils, including Richard Barr, Christopher Buntin, Connor Donaghy, Andrew McLennan, David Dunwoodie, Fraser Black, Saud Khalil, Scott McCuish, Callum Aird, Dylan Jenks, Finlay Wright and Scott Wright, joined the Movember appeal and between them raised £732.02. Well done boys … and is is good to see your cleanshaven looks again!
School Show
Once again we were treated to a high standard of entertainment by pupils and staff as the S6 raised funds for their yearbook. They performed to a packed and enthusiastic audience which filled the school theatre. Acts ranged from singing to ballet and included star performances from the dinner ladies and the annual cameo appearance by Mr Shankland.

Senior School – Xmas Study Plan
Attached are Xmas study plans for S4 and S5 & S6 students.
We hope that students take time to relax and enjoy their Xmas break, but also realise that 2013 will inevitably be a busy year; with prelim exams starting in February.
It is recommended that students complete as much work as they can from the documents below; this will provide a solid platform for exam success in 2013.

St Andrew’s Day
St Andrew’s Day
Our Religious Education Department recently hosted a Scottish Quiz to celebrate St Andrew’s Day. Subjects across the school taught a Scottish themed lesson and the information from these was used to form the basis of a quiz.
Well done to all who took part but a special well done to our quiz winners, there were 3 from each class and Alex Fenn who had the highest score.
