Transition to S1

On Wednesday the 2nd of May, two pupils and one of the P.E teachers, Mr Donnelly, came in to talk about transition to Mearns Castle High school.

First of all we got told when our transition days are. Transition days are when the pupils from primary school get the experience of visiting the high school. The things you do over the three days is seeing what it’s like during  lesson time as well as participating in a sports festival with all the other schools in the cluster.

We found out what house we would be in, the houses were:

  • Caledonia
  • Ramsay
  • Gleneagles
  • Balmoral
  • Sutherland
  • Wallace

We also got told who our pupil support teacher is.

We got told all about the different clubs that we can sign up for like:

  • Netball
  • Badminton
  • Football

One of the other things was all the classes we will have over each term like:

  • Maths
  • English
  • I.T
  • Home economics
  • P.E

  • Modern studies
  • Science (physics, chemistry and biology)

We got given letters that told us where to get our uniform and all the information to know about Mearns Castle High School.
