Carers Forum Launch

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.
Famous Moment in Lego
The winner of last month’s Famous Moment in Lego was Marc Harrison in S3 who correctly identified the Christmas Day truce between the British and German soldiers during World War One in 1914.
The January Moment in Lego competition is now up and running so look out for the posters in Social Subjects rooms, in the corridors and on the website. Good luck!
