I am absolutely gob smacked with the fantastic efforts of your school in raising a whopping £5,086 for the GB women. Please pass on a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all the kids and the staff involved, it totally exceeded any expectations we might have had. This for sure will make a difference to our preparations next summer when the girls return from playing pro.
How on earth did you manage to raise so much money? I know Lynne came into the school and spent time at assemblies and some classes, I am sure she was a big inspiration. I am proud and honoured to have Lynne as the captain of the GB team, she is a credit to Scotland, GB and Mearns Castle High School.
Once again, thank you so much for getting behind the GB women’s team and raising money to keep our Olympic journey alive. All the very best. Audrey
Well done to Callum McGuire, S1 who is the winner of the November Famous Moment in Lego. Callum, along with many others, correctly identified the Great Fire of London, 1666.

You’ve Bought the Balloon. Now See it Set Off on its Journey!
The release of the balloons for the Mearns Castle High School annual Balloon Race will take place on Friday 25th Nov at the top of the steps behind the school at 12.45pm.
If you have bought a ticket then come wish your balloon well as it sets off on its journey into the unknown! Even if you haven’t bought a ticket, come take part in the Big Countdown and then watch the awesome sight of 500 balloons being released into the sky.
Remember if your Balloon is found furthest from the school it will be you that is flying “Up, Up and Away” with 2 return tickets to one of the fantastic destinations courtesy of British Airways.
