Splendid Barrhead Victory!

January 19, 2012 Mr Boag

Congratulations to the U14 Football Team on their 1-2 victory over Johnstone High School. The difficult away fixture took place in treacherous conditions at Ferguslie Park, Paisley.

The boys gave a courageous display and exhibited a strong team ethic, managing to overcome an early setback after conceding a penalty kick.

Robbie Townsend levelled the score after winning a brave challenge with the opposition keeper and Mark McKinnie’s cool finish ensured the 3 points returned to Aurs Road!

The players involved were – Ross Cooper, Ben Clements, Luke Wilson, Christopher Patrick, David Mundemba, Robbie Townsend, Daniel McCusker, Stuart Faulds (c), Gary Pritchard, Jamie McQuade, John Davis, Michael Toal, Ewan Stevenson & Mark McKinnie.

Mr Galloway and Mr Hendrie were both extremely proud of the boys – not only for getting a positive result but for the impeccable conduct displayed.

2G were today hard at work producing desert courses for our annual S2 Ready, Steady Cook competition. Mrs Crawford, along with the pupils from 2G, had the wonderful task of trying all the deserts. Special mention must be made of the lime cheesecake which was delicious – a big well done to all of 2G and Mrs Irvine their class teacher.

Faraday competition

October 31, 2011 User deactivated

A team of S2 pupils went to St Luke’s High School last week to take part in the Faraday Engineering Challenge Day, competing against the other ERC secondary schools. The challenge for the pupils was to build a mechanical system which would be controlled electronically and was capable of moving a cup of water a distance of 20 cm. There was an emphasis on team work and how well they worked together. Our team consisted of Ross Nisbet (Team Leader), Christopher Patrick (Accountant), Kerry Gubbins and Fraser Lundie (Electrical Engineers) and Scott Maneely and Nicola Miller (Mechanical Engineers). They first had to create a design sheet then buy the necessary materials from a shop, managing their budget carefully. The equipment then had to be built and a video was created. They were interviewed about their work during the building process and then finally had to demonstrate their manufactured product to the other groups and the judges.
