The Young Enterprise team took part in the Finals at the University of the West of Scotland on Thursday. The company “Déjà vu” have been trading in the school all year turning old clothes into new accessories. The event was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all participating students.
Congratulations to Katie Baird, Kay Cunningham, Stuart MacLean and Sarah Speir who presented their final baccalaureate projects at Langside College yesterday. They have all now completed the final element of their coursework and we wish them good luck as they await their grades.
Coaches Mr Allen, Mr Galloway and Mr Hendrie would like to acknowledge the hard work and excellent team spirit displayed by U14 Football Team during their hard fought 3-3 draw with Castlehead High School at Cowan Park Monday evening.
Craig Campbell opened the scoring with a spectacular 25 yard free kick, but Barrhead were unfortunate to concede an equaliser a few minutes later. Robbie Townsend restored the lead with a cool finish from a tight angle before Castlehead once again drew level. A speculative effort scored late in the game seemed to tip the tie in favour of the visitors, but Barrhead refused to accept defeat and Luke Wilson epitomised this never say die attitude, forcing the ball over the line late in the game to secure a well earned point.
The players involved were – Ross Cooper, Ben Clements, Luke Wilson, Craig Lundie, David Mundemba, Robbie Townsend, Scott Gubbins, Daniel McCusker, (c), Gary Pritchard, Jamie McQuade, Michael Toal, & Craig Campbell (c).
Well done!
Pupils were invited to take part in a consultation exercise on proposals to build a new skate park in Cowan Park. Susan McNaughton, ERCs Green-Space Funding Officer and Emma Ball from Young People Services will be leading the ongoing consultation.
If you happen to be passing through Barrhead Train Station keep an eye open for our new John Muir Award posters which show the pupils undertaking work at the Dams to Darnley Country Park and some examples of Haiku poems written by the pupils. The Haiku poems were part of a poetry writing competition which was sponsored by Sainsbury’s Supermarket.
