S3 Study Skills Evening
On Tuesday 26th March, around 50 parents/carers of S3 students attended our Raising Attainment- Study Skills Information Evening.
Feedback from the event would suggest that it was very well received, and that parents felt the presentations from staff were useful and informative.
Due to demand, we have attached links to the presentations given on the night- we would be delighted if you took some time to look them over.
If you have any feedback or further questions, please contact Mrs Nugent.
Thank you.

Mary’s Meals Xmas Appeal
Thank you to our Art department and pupils who helped to create a wonderful festive window display for the charity shop Mary’s Meals. The design was also used for our annual Christmas card.
School Show
Once again we were treated to a high standard of entertainment by pupils and staff as the S6 raised funds for their yearbook. They performed to a packed and enthusiastic audience which filled the school theatre. Acts ranged from singing to ballet and included star performances from the dinner ladies and the annual cameo appearance by Mr Shankland.

Barrhead Careers Convention
Barrhead High are hoping to hold a Careers Convention in March 2013.
We are looking for parents and carers to take part on the night by explaining and discussing their occupation.
You don’t have to be a doctor or a lawyer to be able to take part, we are interested in having a variety of parents with differing occupations who can discuss with students the number of hours they work, the challenges of their job and the aspect they enjoy. Students would also be interested in any qualifications you needed to obtain before applying for your post and also what career path your occupation has.
If your are interested in joining us on the night then contact Mr McLean via the school office. Thank you.
