Cluster Badminton Championship

Yesterday, we were represented by 8 pupils in the Active Schools Cluster Badminton Championships held at Carolside Primary.  All team members played extremely well, and after all of the amazing rallies and games, we finished a very respectable second.

Well done to all the participants, who represented the school fantastically and demonstrated great sportsmanship, whether in victory or defeat.

P5 Tennis Festival

All P5 pupils participated in the Active 8 Williamwood Cluster Tennis Festival at Clarkston Tennis Club on Wednesday 8th June.  The children were divided into groups with peers from Carolside and Netherlee Primary schools and rotated around 13 different activity ‘stations’.  The weather was fantastic and all pupils gave very positive feedback about the day.  Our thanks go to Active Schools staff and the Sports Leaders from the high school for organising a great event.
