Congratulations

Congratulations to all pupils who took part in the recent Four Nations Maths Challenge.  Mearns Castle came eighth in Scotland and fiftieth in the UK.  In addition, eleven pupils were placed in the top one hundred pupils in Scotland, while seven classes made it into the top fifty.

Well done to everyone – this is an outstanding achievement.

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!!

Light up a Life

You may be aware that for a number of years our school has been working in Partnership with the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice.  We are involved each year in a range of fundraising events for the Hospice and indeed, as a result of our donations, we are very proud to say that the Hospice’s Training Room bears our school’s name.

Mr Smith has sent a letter home informing parents about this year’s find raising campaign- Light up a Life.
