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.

Well done to members of the Junior, Intermediate and Senior chess teams, who recently played against St. Ninian’s High School, in the Glasgow Schools Chess League.
We had some very close, competitive matches, one of which was only decided in the final seconds of play. Overall, the Junior and Senior Teams lost, whilst the Intermediate team drew.
All players were a credit to themselves and to the school.
Special mention should be made of Ethan Palmer S1, Jack Bell S2 and James Howard S4 who demonstrated outstanding skills in their individual matches.
Well done to all pupils who submitted their football report before Christmas. The standard of the work was very high but after much deliberation the finalists have been identified by the judging panel. The following pupils will move into the final round (live game and details still tbc). There will be a meeting for the pupils in the coming weeks so make sure that you keep checking the newsletter and/or the plasma screens.
Congratulations to our 9 finalists!
