Please click here to download or simply view the timetable for the upcoming third year exams. The third year exams are spread out over two and a half weeks and are our S3 pupils first real experience of formal examinations: some of the exams will take place in the actual games hall that is hosting the SQA exams which are starting today!
All pupils will be assessed in every subject they have undertaken, either at National 4 or National 5 level. It is our hope that the experience of sitting formal exams will serve the pupils well in the future as they begin their S4 and the run up to the SQA exams in 2015 and beyond.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the school if you want more information or have any questions about the timetable attached.
Thank you for your continued support and good luck to all of the students!

Barrhead High School Book Group members were delighted to be invited to the awards ceremony of the Scottish Children’s Book Awards held recently in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow.
They have been reading and reviewing the shortlisted books over the last few months and voting for their favourites. There was an opportunity to meet the authors and the ceremony itself involved a quiz testing the pupils on their book knowledge. Barrhead pupils came sixth out of 23 schools from all over Scotland. Well done!
The Parent Council are holding a fundraising quiz night this Friday, 21st March, at 7.30pm in Shanks Bowling Club. This has become an annual fixture in recent years and the competition is fierce … but fun! Come as a team or come and join one on the night. Tickets are available from the school office.
From 7th March, our school nurse, Ellen McEwing will be available every Friday lunchtime for a drop in health clinic.
Ellen will be based in the Counsellor’s Room which is round the corner in the Dealston part of our school.
Pupils do not need to make an appointment. Ellen will be available to give advice. She is experienced in running a school lunchtime clinic.
Pupils can either go along during lunchtime to the drop in service or else they can contact their Pupil Support teacher to arrange an appointment.
Anyone wanting to know more information about this service should contact Mrs Gordon (Depute for Pupil Support) at the school.
