Careers Fair
Our annual Careers Convention takes place tonight
Wednesday 26th October in the Open Area.
It promises to be an interesting and informative evening with representatives from Universities and Colleges and from many diverse careers such as Armed Forces, Dentistry and Veterinary. In order to cope with the large number we expect to attend, we would ask that pupils and parents from S2 and S3 attend from 6pm to 7pm and S4, 5 and 6 from 7pm to 8pm.
Charities Week
Charities Week – starts on Monday 31st October.
Every year the pupils at Mearns Castle raise large amounts of money during this week by taking part in many different and imaginative activities. Last year, almost £7000 was raised and subsequently disbursed among a number of charities, each chosen by the pupils themselves.
