Green-Flag Award

Congratulations to all pupils – Mearns Castle has been awarded a second Green Flag Award!

This award is a reflection of the work carried out in a number of areas in the school related to litter reduction, waste minimisation and generally being eco-friendly.

A particular thanks to the Eco-Committee who worked hard to complete the application form and carry out a variety of jobs every year including an environmental review of the school.

New members are always welcome to join the Eco-Committee who meet Monday lunchtimes in Science lab A8.

Girls Rugby

S1-S3 girls who are be interested in coming along to our Rugby club should attend the after school club run by Brandon (Rugby Development Officer).

The club runs on Wednesdays in the Old Gym from 3.35pm – 4.45pm. The club is free.

It is non-contact at the moment but we are hoping to get enough girls along to introduce contact and enter teams into local competitions.
