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.

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!
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.
