The Mini-trials
The Mini-trials event took place on Saturday 26th November and the team of S6 pupils from Mearns Castle were successful in winning both of the cases convincingly.
In the morning trial the team were defending an assault case against Barrhead and in the afternoon trial the team were pursuing a civil case against Belmont. The pupils – Grace Cameron, Lucy Chambers, Hannah Couchlin, Adam Henderson, Aushna Ikhlaq, Johnathan Kinloch, Gregor Nesbitt and Christopher Park – had a terrific experience and were a credit to the school, drawing specific praise from professionals and organising staff alike, for their professional manner and commitment to the project and will receive their certificates shortly – well done to you all!!
