School Ski trip 2015

It is that time of year again, when we start to plan for our winter ski trip. This year we are proposing to run a ski trip to Champoluc in the Monterosa Region, Italy on 21st February 2015.  This is a new resort, which has been taken on by Interski and there has been some positive feedback. If you would like to attend the ski trip next year, then print the attached form (or collect a form from the school office) and return it to the school office by Wednesday, 16th May 2014.

S3 Exam Timetable

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!

Scottish Children’s Book Awards

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!

Friday Lunchtime Drop in Health Clinic

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.
