School Trips for Session 2017/18

All pupils should have received a letter (link below) on Friday with details of the school trips which staff have proposed running this session (and a couple of possible ones for next session).

It is unlikely we would be able to run all of these  but we are wanting to gauge the interest to identify the most popular choices. If your son / daughter would like to go on a trip, please complete the form and return it this week.

That will help us to  finalise which trips will be available.

ERC meets Malawi

MalawiFour of our young people – Nicola Miller, Sophie Turnbull, Callum Scott and Ronan Park-Patterson – are currently in Malawi (the poorest country in the world) with the ERC group of 26 pupils from all the high schools, together with some staff.

They have all worked together to raise money to fund the trip and also allow them to participate in activities that would benefit the local people. They will be working in the Kaponda district that has been a focus for the work of Barrhead Councillor Betty Cunningham for the past few years.

 

Malawi 2They have set up a Twitter account so folk at home can follow what they are up to – ERC Malawi2015.

Why not follow them?

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.
