Tomorrow evening, we are hosting an exam preparation evening for the parents of pupils studying for their National 5 examinations this session.  The purpose of this evening is to explain to parents exactly what their children should be revising for each National 5 examination and how to do this best.  Letters were issued to all S4 pupils which contain more important information, a copy of which can be found here.  In order to organise the evening, we require you to contact the school if you plan on attending, unless you have already returned the completed form.  This is to allow us to create the sessions for the evening.  A similar event will take place on Tuesday 5 December for Higher candidates.

On Monday 23rd September, pupils participated in the first S6 pupil conference.   Pupils participated in activities designed to help them realise their potential and prepare them for life after school. The workshops explored the 24 aspects of character, for example leadership, bravery and zest. They also looked at the wide range of skills developed by volunteering and the multitude of different pathways available after school. All these topics are helpful for pupils’ mental health and wellbeing as well as sharing information about later life. The first S6 Conference was definitely a success! 

On Thursday 5th September, a group of pupils attended The Diana Award Anyi-bullying Ambassador Training event at the High School of Glasgow.   

Williamwood High School’s senior awards ceremony was an inspiring evening. Endeavour, academic achievement, sports and special awards were presented to over 200 pupils from S4 to S6. Michaela Foster-Marsh gave an amazing, thought provoking speech and the musical interludes showcased Williamwood’s young talent. Thanks to everyone who helped set up the event and the F&TT department for the wonderful shortbread that rounded off the night.
