Free Your Feet

During week beginning 21 May 2012 ‘Free Your Feet’ a week long whole school event which encourages all pupils to make walking part of his/her mode of transport to and from school will take place.

All pupils are encouraged to take part and can do so by:

  • walking the whole way to and from school
  • walking to and from the bus stop
  • walking from the drop off point in the car park at Broom shops.

If every pupil participates in some way we hope that together we will:

  • raise awareness of the health benefits of regular exercise as part of every day life
  • reduce traffic congestion and increase pupil safety
  • make a contribution to improving the environment by reducing pollution

Calling all poptastic pop pickers from S1, S2 or S3!

If you are interested in radio, journalism, media or even music there is a fantastic opportunity to be a DJ. We need a group of 5 pupils to produce and present a show on the 12th June between 3pm and 4pm for Go Live @ Pulse FM. Your group will have a 45 minute slot to fill with discussion and music of your choice.

If you are interested and would like to know more please come and see Mr McGlynn in the English Department (either in the base or B10).
