China Update
The reception with Nicola Sturgeon took place today (early morning our time) and she met with the East Renfrewshire group.
As indicated in the previous post, Euan had been selected to represent the group and he spoke very well on behalf of ERC and the North East hubs. He is dressed in kung fu gear as he was also performing later – hopefully we will get some pictures of that!
A Long Way to Go for a Cup of Tea!
A group of East Renfrewshire pupils are currently visiting China, accompanied by our own Principal Teacher of Modern Language, Miss Catriona Ness. One of our pupils, Euan Stevenson (S6), is also part of the party.
They have linked up with the partner school and also had some time sightseeing and learning about the culture of the host country. This has included a visit to the Great wall.
Euan performed a tea ceremony at the partnership school; however this Sunday (tomorrow), Nicola Sturgeon is meeting with the group in Beijing and Euan has been selected to speak to her. He’ll be inviting her back to Barrhead for a cuppa next!
The BBC will be there too so look out for some mentions in the media!
We are looking forward to a full report on their return.
New Timetable for the new S5 & S6
Pupils in S1 – S3 moved up to become the new S2 – S4 last Wednesday and started in their new classes.
Pupils in S4 & S5 should return to school tomorrow (Monday) for the start of their new S5 & S6 timetables. They should go straight to the theatre at 8.45 to collect the new timetables. A number will still require to meet with Mrs Crawford and make some amendments to their choices.
All new S5 pupils, and any S6 who have chosen PE, should bring their PE kit with them.
For a few pupils, they will still have one more exam – Higher or Int 2 PE. Best wishes to them.
