S2 pupils were a credit to the school last week as they took part in our annual ‘I Can Do Anything’ event. The event helps to raise awareness about a range of careers prior to pupils choosing their subject options. A special thank you to all the business delegates who gave up their own time to support our event. Many of the pupils expressed how interesting and useful they found the event.
S2 Option Information
With S2 students making their subject choices for next session, the following two documents might be useful to both parents and students.
Splendid Barrhead Victory!
Congratulations to the U14 Football Team on their 1-2 victory over Johnstone High School. The difficult away fixture took place in treacherous conditions at Ferguslie Park, Paisley.
The boys gave a courageous display and exhibited a strong team ethic, managing to overcome an early setback after conceding a penalty kick.
Robbie Townsend levelled the score after winning a brave challenge with the opposition keeper and Mark McKinnie’s cool finish ensured the 3 points returned to Aurs Road!
The players involved were – Ross Cooper, Ben Clements, Luke Wilson, Christopher Patrick, David Mundemba, Robbie Townsend, Daniel McCusker, Stuart Faulds (c), Gary Pritchard, Jamie McQuade, John Davis, Michael Toal, Ewan Stevenson & Mark McKinnie.
Mr Galloway and Mr Hendrie were both extremely proud of the boys – not only for getting a positive result but for the impeccable conduct displayed.

Which Way Now? has some great suggestions about career planning and how to choose your subjects for S3 & S4.
