Could all S2-S5 girls interested in taking part in the ‘Pretty Muddy’ event at Bellahouston Park, please collect a letter and consent form from Mrs Wallace in the Guidance Base ASAP.
Training takes place every Wednesday and Friday at 3pm – see you there!
A series of targetted study sessions have been arranged for all Advanced Higher, Higher, Intermediate 2, Intermediate 1 and National 5 courses.
Students are encouraged to attend as many of the study sessions as they can.
The National Parent Forum of Scotland has produced Revision in a Nutshell guides for the new Highers (20 subjects) and updated Revision guides for National 5s (20 subjects). These revision guides contain direct links to SQA specimen question papers, exemplar question papers plus past question papers, where appropriate. The guides advise learners to check with their teachers to make sure that material is relevant. The guides are primarily intended to provide the SQA direct links by subject in one place, and to give some additional revision opportunities.

A new Vocational Programme for the year 2015/16 has been published this week. If you are interested in attending college or wish more details about the courses on offer, view the Vocational Programme.
The school will close at 2.30 pm tomorrow (Thursday) and re-open on Mon 20th April at the usual time – 8.45 am (first bell 8.40!!).
We have been emphasising to all pupils that with the start of the new term, and hopefully some better weather, we are looking for a full turn out in full uniform again – please assist us in ensuring that the young people turn up wearing their blazer, black shoes and appropriate trousers or skirts – we have been seeing some black denims and skinny trousers creeping in recently.
With the SQA exams looming it will not be a holiday for all – both staff and pupils. Our Easter School programme will run as usual on the Tues – Thurs of each week with 2 sessions each morning 9.00 – 10.30 then 10.45 – 12.15. There is a good selection of sessions at different levels on offer. Pupils should have signed up and paid on-line by now. Don’t miss out on this useful study aid.
In the meantime, have a great break and we hope to see you all back in April, refreshed and ready for the final push this session.

On Tuesday of last week, a number of our students attended the Barrhead Rotary Club’s Young Linguists Awards Evening at the Dalmeny Park Hotel.
Congratulations to Iain (winner) and Aimée (runner up) in the Young Linguist of the Year contest.
This year’s Ski Trip staff and pupils were highly IT literate. They kept us informed daily via TWITTER of their progress with pictures and tweets.
They also took the school’s new GoPro video camera. This camera is the size of a matchbox and can be fastened to your body on a special harness. It is designed to give action filming while taking part in sporting activities – and skiing was the ideal sport to try it out on.
Pupils and staff took turns at wearing the camera and filmed lots of the action.
On their return, our talented school Media Technician, Matthew Mathieson, downloaded some of the clips and put them together into an action-packed film. Check it out below!
Our gymnasts recently took part in the East Renfrewshire heat of the schools competition. We had 3 teams competing; a level 1 and two level 2 teams. Each gymnast performs a floor routine and competes at vault. Although we did not win any medals at the competition the girls had all worked so hard on their skills over the term we awarded them medals for floor, vault and overall at each level based on their scores at the competition.
