S4 – National 4/5 Supported Study Timetable
S5/6 – Intermediate 2/Higher/Adv. Higher Supported Study Timetable
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.
After an extensive selection process, which involved S6 students writing a personal statement and attending an interview with Mr Sinclair, Mrs Crawford and Mr Weighton – the following students were successfully elected:
Both students have already completed their first official engagement – they met Mrs Shaw (Director of Education) and other Head Boys & Girls from schools across the authority. We wish Alan and Claire every success.
