Netball Success

A HUGE well done to the netball team!!!
On Tuesday, 12th March Barrhead High hosted a netball tournament against Woodfarm High School. The teams played three games, and Barrhead had a victory in every game!!!
The scores were 8 – 2 , 10 – 6, and 10 – 4.

Well done everyone, you all had a fantastic game!!
Also, well done do Briony Giblin who won the shooting competition.

If anyone would like to join the netball team, we train on a Monday after school from 3.45pm – 5pm.

Thanks and well done again!

Ailish Douglas – 2 mile swim!

Congratulations to Ailish Douglas, who completed her sponsored swim for Alzheimer Scotland – 100 lengths in 65 minutes – and then went on to do an extra 30 for “fun” so she could complete 2 miles!

Both Barrhead News and PULSE FM will feature her efforts.

Ailish is 90% of the way towards her £600 target – if you wish to add support, please speak to Ailish or visit her justgiving webpage.

Boys Under 14 Football

The school under 14 football team beat Eastwood 5 – 4 in a thrilling game at Eastwood’s new astroturf pitch. Barrhead came back from 2 – 0 and 3 – 2 down, to lead 5 – 3, before Eastwood pulled one back in the last minute. David Mundemba scored a hat trick, with one from the penalty spot. The other goals were scored by Connor Davidson and Steven Pringle.

Debating Competition

Congratulations to the senior debaters, Daniel Cunningham and Jamie MacKenzie (S6) who argued the rights and wrongs of inheritance tax in St Columba’s School on Wednesday the 9th of January with great skill, poise and passion.

They were successful in winning the debate as well as progressing to the next round of the competition.We wish them all the best in the future rounds.

If parents wish to find out more about debating at Barrhead High School they should get in touch with the school by email and direct their enquiry to A Laitano or A Beaton in the English Department.

We are always looking for new members so any pupils interested are more than welcome to join!

Netball Club

A well done to all of our S1, S2 and S3 pupils who attended Netball last term. Everyone worked very hard and attendance was excellent!

The teams played various matches against other schools with most of the results being a victory!

We also managed to take the pupils to see a professional match in the new Emirates Arena, Glasgow to watch teams playing in the World Premier Club Challenge.

In this new term we are arranging more school matches and tournaments and hope for an exciting time ahead.

Netball starts back today, Monday, 14th January 2013. The club runs every Monday after school from 3.45 pm – 5 pm. We look forward to seeing all of our current members at training and we invite anyone new to come join us.
All ages and abilities are welcome! Don’t worry if you have never held a netball before… that’s what we are here for!

For details please come along on Monday or come and speak to Miss Grant (PE/Pupil Support), Miss McArdle (PE) or Miss Walker (Geography).
Thank you.
