Go to the video link below for some of the action from the S1 Adventure Weekend.
Pupils were hooked up to the school’s new GoPro camera. Apologies for some shaking, When you see what they were up to to, you will understand why – I would be shaking too if I was way up there!

A new Vocational Programme for the year 2015/16 has been published this week. If you are interested in attending college or wish more details about the courses on offer, view the Vocational Programme.
All S4, S5 & S6 students, with SQA examinations to sit, have been signing up for additional study sessions during the Easter holidays.
The Easter School program runs from Tuesday, 7th April – Thursday, 9th April and from Tuesday, 14th April – Thursday, 16th April inclusive. Each session runs from 9am-12.15pm.
Students can still sign-up for an Easter School session by completing the attached form and handing it in to the school office. A fee of £3 per day is charged and we ask that this is paid on-line. Please do not bring cash or cheques to the school office.
We hope the Easter School study sessions are well attended and that students make the most of the support that is available.
The school will close at 2.30 pm tomorrow (Thursday) and re-open on Mon 20th April at the usual time – 8.45 am (first bell 8.40!!).
We have been emphasising to all pupils that with the start of the new term, and hopefully some better weather, we are looking for a full turn out in full uniform again – please assist us in ensuring that the young people turn up wearing their blazer, black shoes and appropriate trousers or skirts – we have been seeing some black denims and skinny trousers creeping in recently.
With the SQA exams looming it will not be a holiday for all – both staff and pupils. Our Easter School programme will run as usual on the Tues – Thurs of each week with 2 sessions each morning 9.00 – 10.30 then 10.45 – 12.15. There is a good selection of sessions at different levels on offer. Pupils should have signed up and paid on-line by now. Don’t miss out on this useful study aid.
In the meantime, have a great break and we hope to see you all back in April, refreshed and ready for the final push this session.

Congratulations to Kyle O’Neill (S1) who recently attended The Brits – a week-long ski & snowboarding event held in Tignes, France.
In preparation for the event Kyle attended the Scottish Ski and Boardercross Championships at Glenshee, winning a silver medal.
Well done Kyle and keep up the hard work!
On Tuesday of last week, a number of our students attended the Barrhead Rotary Club’s Young Linguists Awards Evening at the Dalmeny Park Hotel.
Congratulations to Iain (winner) and Aimée (runner up) in the Young Linguist of the Year contest.
46 S1 pupils and 5 members of staff are having an ‘adventurous’ time on the Adventure Weekend trip to Kingswood Centre near Hexham. They have been kept busy on a variety of activities and are having a great time. Follow their progress on twitter ‘Barrhead Adv Trip’.
Supported study is an excellent opportunity for S4, S5 and S6 students to progress their learning.
S4 National 5 Supported Study Sessions.
S5&6 Higher/ Intermediate Supported Study Sessions.
We strongly recommend that all S4, S5 & S6 students attend as many supported study sessions as they can.
All sessions start immediately after school on the day indicated and last for one hour.
This year’s Ski Trip staff and pupils were highly IT literate. They kept us informed daily via TWITTER of their progress with pictures and tweets.
They also took the school’s new GoPro video camera. This camera is the size of a matchbox and can be fastened to your body on a special harness. It is designed to give action filming while taking part in sporting activities – and skiing was the ideal sport to try it out on.
Pupils and staff took turns at wearing the camera and filmed lots of the action.
On their return, our talented school Media Technician, Matthew Mathieson, downloaded some of the clips and put them together into an action-packed film. Check it out below!
