On Saturday the 30th of November Barrhead High senior pupils took part in The East Renfrewshire Mini Trials held in the Paisley Sheriff court.
The pupils had prepared two cases thoroughly and were excited about the prospect of ‘competing’ against other East Renfrewshire schools in open court.
The day was split into two halves: the morning was spent in court dramatically reproducing an assault case, while the afternoon was spent re-enacting a civil case involving a snail and a ginger beer company! Needless to say, Barrhead High School’s top lawyers and witnesses achieved a positive result in both of the cases, persuading the jurors of the strength of their cases.
At the end of the day the pupils were awarded certificates of participation from The Dean of The Faculty of Advocates who expressed his delight at the quality of the arguments prepared by the teams involved. Barrhead’s own coach, lawyer Gordon Ritchie had this to say: “Please pass on my congratulations to your pupils who excelled at this years event. The lawyers were confident and assured and asked relevant and pertinent questions, and I was particularly impressed by the two speeches. The witnesses also gave great performances and all the pupils were a credit to their school.”
It is great to see the pupils at Barrhead High school excelling in public speaking, particularly when so many teachers promote this as a key skill in their classrooms as part of the curriculum for excellence.
Well done all of those who took part.
