Football Forum
The football forum has now been moved from a Friday lunchtime to a Monday lunchtime. It will continue to take place in the PE classroom.
We are looking for new members, so if you want to come along on a Monday lunchtime and debate (argue) the latest incidents from the world of football – then everyone is welcome (even staff!!).
S3-6 boys – Lacrosse
We are looking for the next generation of Scotland players! Currently Mearns Castle High School are the only secondary in Scotland who can offer you this opportunity and as a result many of the boys who started only last year are in the Scotland training squad.
Some of these boys will even be playing in the 2012 World Championships in Finland this summer.
The opportunity is there for you too… Training is on Wednesdays after school from 2.45 – 4.30 but we only have enough kit for a certain number of players so respond quickly – first come first served. We begin on 25th January.
Watersports 2011
Could all pupils who took part in the Watersports trip in June please ensure you are available for the PREMIÈRE screening of “Watersports 2011”. This will take place in the Theatre today and tomorrow at lunchtime. The show will start at 12.30pm and finish at 1.00pm on both days. Please ensure that you are seated for this time – don’t be late. Copies of the DVD will be issued to you as the credits roll.
Table Tennis Club
Pupils from any year group who are interested in playing Table Tennis should come along to the Table Tennis club next Thursday lunch time in the new gym.
Pupils who have already given their name to Mr. Brown should attend this as preparation for upcoming competitive fixtures.
All staff are also welcome if they would like to join us.
