Times running out – why?
Quick, you have to decide before the buzzer chooses for you!
Come play the game…. its fun…… we promise.
There are so many questions in life….. Some are trivial but others come with what seems like the weight of the world. What if you’re asked questions and your future depended on it? Would you still play along and try and answer?

Who- S1 and S2 pupils interested in Drama.

Calling all budding Ally Mcbeals and Kavanagh QCs (really struggled to think of a male example of a lawyer you would know! Considered Atticus Finch from “To Kill A Mockingbird” but thought that it was, at best, wishful thinking! )
So if you are interested in studying law, journalism or media in some capacity this is a great opportunity for you to experience the world of law first hand! you will be given the opportunity to work in teams to prepare a defence or prosecution case, benefit from the expertise and experience of professionals and, on the day of the event, experience the drama and atmosphere of a real Sheriff court room as you participate in a mock trial against another school in East Renfrewshire.
(Please note that places are limited and priority will be given to those students who have applied to study law).
If you want to apply or simply find out more, come along to B10 next Wednesday Lunchtime
