Scottish National Swimming Championships – Dec 2013
Kirsty McGinley (S3) recently took part in the above swimming championships and had a fabulous weekend smashing PB’s in every event she entered.
Kisrty’s new times are as follows:
In the 400M Individual Medley, Kirsty came 17th out of 72 entries – a fabulous achievement considering Kirsty was swimming against the best young swimmers in Scotland and England.
On Wednesday S3 Geography pupils visited the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and Emirates Arena to look at regeneration in Glasgow’s East End. They also took a tour around the area with a representative from Clyde Gateway who pointed out lots of examples of how the area is changing.
In the afternoon we visited Silverburn to look at out of town shopping centres and undertake some fieldwork tasks.
After a short break and the many successes enjoyed by our team this year, the Debating club returns on Wednesdays Lunchtime for Juniors and Thursday after school for Seniors as we start preparation for upcoming debating competitions.
There might also the opportunity to represent Scotland in the English Speaking Union World Schools Competition which will take place in Thailand in 2014 as applications are now open.
If you are interested in debating and public speaking you are welcome to come along to room 35 at the start of lunchtime or Thursday at 3:45.
