5th Year
Johnathan Gilmour competed in the Scottish National Championships last month.
He won gold in his own Category, securing the title of Junior 16-17 National Champion 2014.
He also fought up in seniors (over 18) teams and won Gold with his team, securing the Senior Team National Champions 2014.
Another fantasic achievement from Jonathan – it is exciting to watch his progress over the years … and who knows what the future will bring?!
By the end of today, all S4 and S5 students will have taken part in a Mindset for Achievement workshop, which encourages students to question their response to an opportunity or challenge in their life.
The course has been delivered by Live-n-Learn, a local company that specialises in motivating secondary school students.
Parents of S4 and S5 students are welcome to attend our workshop, tonight at 6.30pm in Ralston, where you can experience the motivational techniques first hand.
I look forward to our meeting later this evening.
All S4 & S5 students will be issued with a letter in the next few days detailing a Mindset for Achievement workshop that will be held on Monday & Tuesday, 1st & 2nd December. This fast-paced workshop will challenge student’s attitudes and beliefs; do they have a fixed or growth mindset, how to deal with challenges in their lives and how to motivate themselves.
In addition, we are offering a parents’ mindset workshop on Tuesday, 2nd December at 6.30pm.
If you would like to attend the parents’ mindset workshop, then please return the tear-off slip (see the student letter) to the school office.
We look forward to welcoming you on Tuesday, 2nd December at 6.30pm.
Please find below details of the supported study that will run, after school, throughout November.
Students should attend as many sessions as they can to ensure they are best prepared for the prelim exams in February.

Well done to BHS Senior Boys Basketball Team who managed a slim victory against St Ninians HS, winning 24-26.
Barrhead started the game brilliantly with some excellent inter-play between D Mundemba and A Watson. Into the second quarter with Barrhead leading 7-11, St Ninians stormed into the lead, finishing the half 17-13 ahead.
In the second half both teams tired a little, which allowed J Beatt to demonstrate some excellent individual skill by driving to the basket on numerous occasions. The final few minutes of the game were frantic, with Barrhead ahead by two points both teams used time-outs to tweak their offences. Further good work from D Mundemba in defense ensured victory for Barrhead.
Well done to all of the boys involved, including those that debuted for the team – E. Stevenson, A Innes, R Cooper, A Gilmour, S Ahmed, N Telerman and K McCormack.
