Malawi fundraising fun
An excellent afternoon of football was had at Barrhead High today, and all for a good cause too!
With three of our senior students heading off on a trip to Malawi later this year, Matthew Halligan (S6) set about organising a football tournament to raise funds. Students across all year groups signed up to either play football or spectate.
Well done to all of the boys who played football and to the many students who cheered them on; a fantastic atfernoon was had by all!
Hillwalk for Nepal – Saturday 30th May 2015
Over 100 pupils, parents and staff, and their families and friends, joined together today for a charity hill walk for Nepal. A bus left the school at 9.30 and more folk met us in Balmaha for the walk up Conic Hill. The weather could not have been better and we made quick progress up and had lunch on top before heading back down.
Pupils had expressed their concern over the last month as they heard the news coming through about the earthquakes in Nepal. This was made more real for them when Mrs Knowles (Maths teacher) spoke to them at assemblies of the 5 years she had spent in Kathmandu, the people she had met and the current situation. She showed us photos of the sherpa that took her to Everest Basecamp, his family and house and the recent effect on his village, which had been wiped out with only 1 house left standing.
The pupils decided that the most appropriate response was a charity hill walk with all money raised being sent to help the relief work. All money raised should be brought in to the School Office next week and if any other pupils, parents or staff wish to contribute, they are welcome to do so.
We enjoyed a great day but it is good to know that this will also bring benefit to people in real need.
A big thank you to all who participated.

Fundraising Cycle – back on this week!
We cancelled the cycle last Thursday due to poor weather – we didn’t want the young folk sitting in wet clothes for the rest of the day.
However the weather looks promising for tomorrow so S1 – S4 will cycle during Periods 1-4 tomorrow (Thursday). The only difference this week is that pupils will come to school in their uniforms and will change into their PE/cycling gear at their cycling period.
S5 and S6 pupils will do their cycling next Thursday (weather permitting!).
GET ON YOUR BIKES, FOLKS!
Fundraising Cycle – Thursday 25th September
POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER UNITL NEXT THURS 2nd THURS 9th – TO BE CONFIRMED.
Pupils (and staff) will get on their bikes this week to raise funds for the school. The school fund is used to support many activities around the school – equipment for clubs, buses for trips, strips for teams, rewards for the Merit Scheme and much more – all the little extras that add to the educational experience of our young folk.
On Thursday, pupils will go out to Cowan Park and cycle in groups around the paths surrounding the grass area containing the bandstand. All bikes, high-vis tops and helmets will be provided (and will be compulsory). Staff and S6 pupils will be there to supervise and we will have notices warning the public of the event. Hopefully it will not be as cold this time as it was in these pictures.
The goal for the day is to cycle a total of 500 miles between all the participants so not only will this raise funds, it will contribute to the health and wellbeing of the school community.
If you are in the area, you would be welcome to come and cheer the pupils on – but please look out for bikes! Our thanks to the ERC Parks Dept for the use of the parks and to Friends of Cowan Park for helping us bring it to the public’s attention.
So to all the pupils … GET ON YOUR BIKES!
