The last week of this half term has continued to be very busy for staff and pupils. Most reviews have now been done and the S5/6 classes had their first parents evening on Thursday. Pupils have worked hard to finish units of work this week, ready to start afresh in the new term.

Parent Pay has been opened for those pupils wishing to go on the Pantomime trip on Thursday 11th December. The trip is to Aladdin at the Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow. We would ask if payment could be made by Monday 24th October to secure seats. If anyone else would like to attend, please contact the CSS as soon as possible and we will see if this can be accommodated.

Miss Norman took her S3 John Muir Award group to Rouken Glen garden centre to choose and purchase plants for the school building. They have been given responsibility for decorating the school interior and maintaining plants. Their displays are taking shape and look beautiful.

Ruth, Mark and Thomas made lanterns in ASDAN – I’m sure you will agree they are very creative and a great idea.

Jonny also created a very intricate model.

Susie and Lewis got excellent results in their unit review for N5 Biology; the seniors passed their Life in Ancient Greece N3 or N4 assessment for Classical Studies; well done Mark for passing three (!) assessments for your N1 Communication award.

The seniors Mental Health Group have been looking at anxiety and how the brain works. They made ‘brain’ head dresses of their thoughts – as seen here!

Finally, can we wish Jonny (S3) a very, very happy 14th birthday for during the holidays and wish everyone a relaxing October week.
