You’ve Bought the Balloon. Now See it Set Off on its Journey!
The release of the balloons for the Mearns Castle High School annual Balloon Race will take place on Friday 25th Nov at the top of the steps behind the school at 12.45pm.
If you have bought a ticket then come wish your balloon well as it sets off on its journey into the unknown! Even if you haven’t bought a ticket, come take part in the Big Countdown and then watch the awesome sight of 500 balloons being released into the sky.
Remember if your Balloon is found furthest from the school it will be you that is flying “Up, Up and Away” with 2 return tickets to one of the fantastic destinations courtesy of British Airways.
Congratulations and Gold Stars all round to the pupils involved in the Young Enterprise Group Mini Sales Event at S5/6 parents evening. A last minute decision to proceed with the sales event without promotional materials resulted in an outstanding success. Excellent work by some dedicated pupils
