S1 Enterprise 4 U Group

Looking for the perfect Christmas Gift!- come along to the Open Area every break and lunchtime up to Christmas (or until we sell out!!) to purchase our wonderful UV Bracelets. The bracelets are ideal for boys and girls and contain some UV beads which change colour when you go out in the sun so let you know when you need to apply suntan lotion.

The bracelets are priced at £1.50 or £2.00 if you wish a customised bracelet with a name of your choice.

S1 Pupils

On the afternoon of Tuesday 17th December all S1 pupils will be involved in the S Factor event. This will be an opportunity to celebrate Scottish heritage within many subject areas.

If you produce a piece of work such as a poster or poem in class and would like to showcase this at the event please see Mrs Nicklin in D11 or Mr Wyroslawski in D18.

Also if you would like to perform in any way – highland dancing, musical instrument, recite a poem etc we would also love to see you! Also remember to enter the shortbread making competition!!

French Drama Club

Are you a born actor ?  Do you love drama?  Would you like to improve your confidence in French ?

Come and join the French Drama Club where we will act out a modern adaptation of Cinderella in French.

With our piece we will enter the Rencontres Theatrales, an inter-school drama competition organised by the Institut Français d’Ecosse.

It’s the perfect occasion to come practice that French accent and have fun !

If you are interested come and sign up in Miss Sanchez’s room in D5. Open to pupils from S1-S3.

Save the Children Philippines Typhoon Appeal

On Monday 16th December Mearns Castle High School will take part in its very own ‘Christmas Jumper Day’.

 Staff and pupils are asked to make a £1 donation to wear their Christmas Jumper – you may even want to design your own.  If you don’t fancy wearing a winter woolly you can accessorise yourself in a festive way for the same £1 donation.

Earn house points for the best Christmas Jumper when your class can vote in period 7.

A panel of judges will also vote for the BEST or WORST Christmas Jumper worn by a teacher.

S2 pupils are selling their homemade Christmas baking at interval and lunchtime; everyone can have Polaroid pictures taken with their mates in festive attire, and/or you can take part in Christmas Karaoke at lunchtime in the open area.  

All money made will go to the Save the Children Philippines Typhoon Appeal. To book your bake sale table or if you have any questions please see Christmas Jumper Day organiser Kate Jarvie in S2.

Calling all budding actors and actresses in S1 and S2.

Pick up your clothes – why?

Mum, why are there 24hours in a day?

Go to your room – why?

Get your work done – why?

Subjects to choose – why?

Come play this game – why?

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?

Why don’t you come along and be involved in a Drama workshop that will explore some of these questions.

Who- S1 and S2 pupils interested in Drama.
