Barrhead High School and St Luke’s High School
jointly hold a Careers Evening every year. This year the Career Evening is being held in St Luke’s High School starting at 7pm until 9pm.

Cheyenne Hodgson in S5 is raising funds for her trip to Botswana in the summer of 2012 by selling wonderful cup 
cakes to staff and pupils at Barrhead High School. This trip is being organised by the Scout Association of which Cheyenne belongs to 3rd Barrhead Scout Group. So far Cheyenne has raised £1,600 mainly from the sale of cupcakes – we wish her well. If any organisation wishes to support Cheyenne and purchase these cupcakes please contact Mrs Crawford (Depute Head) at Barrhead High School.
All departments will be supporting pupils with Study Techniques relating to their subjects. This will be a focus until the October holiday.
