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.

CHRISTMAS SHOW

Last night the school theatre was full to the brim as pupils and parents watched our 2012 Christmas Show.  There were solo acts, groups,  bands, dancers, staff acts and a wonderful Spice Girls production from our Dinning Hall Ladies.  Everyone commented on the superb quality of the show and how talented our young people are.

Over £600 was raised to support the S6 Fund Raising Committee

Well done to everyone involved – and a big thanks to all the staff who helped to make this evening so wonderful.

Barrhead Careers Convention

Barrhead High are hoping to hold a Careers Convention in March 2013.

We are looking for parents and carers to take part on the night by explaining and discussing their occupation.

You don’t have to be a doctor or a lawyer to be able to take part, we are interested in having a variety of parents with differing occupations who can discuss with students the number of hours they work, the challenges of their job and the aspect they enjoy.  Students would also be interested in any qualifications you needed to obtain before applying for your post and also what career path your occupation has.

If your are interested in joining us on the night then contact Mr McLean via the school office. Thank you.

Geography – Empty Lands – (S2)

As part of their ‘Empty Lands’ unit, S2 were tasked with designing their own animal.  Pupils had to understand how the climate and environment of the tundra, rainforest and desert have led to plants and animals adapting to the area.

Pupils were encouraged to use their imagination when designing the look of the animal – but the adaptations had to suit the climate region they live in.

These are some of the results.

   
         
         
         
         
         
         
         
         
         

S1 – Geography Models

Some of our S1 Geography classes were asked to make a model of a place or feature from anywhere in the world. 

Students were to incorporate their name it their model as well.

The results were excellent and a big thank you to all the Mums & Dads, grans & papas who helped the class with their work.
