Congratulations, we have made it to the end of another busy term.
This week we have lots of photos to share with you.
A number of pupils have signed up for Duke of Edinburgh, which we will begin next term and continue in 2023-24. Aaron and Casper did some activities for their skills section at Barrhead High School this week. The pair made biscuit cake as part of their lifeskills cooking and baking class.

Archie really enjoyed finding out about special effect make-up in drama. Here he is with some very convincing wounds.

Miss Jamieson and the S1/S2 art class were able to finally get outside and enjoy some sunny weather this week. They were looking at reflections as part of their class and took some very impressive photographs as I’m sure you will agree.

Ruth and Mark designed eggs to wish those celebrating a happy Easter.

Mr Dykes class have been studying persuasive language and advertising with Miss Macdonald on a Wednesday. They created adverts for a new product with their posters judged as a competition. The winner was…

Some of our senior pupils are now preparing for N5, Higher and AH exams, which begin in May. We would like to remind them that study materials will be available from their teachers, on Google Classroom, and across websites such as BBC Bitesize. The holidays provide a good opportunity to do some study and revision, but please also make sure you take time to relax and enjoy a little break. Find a balance between study and switching off.

And finally, can we wish every pupil, their families and friends of the CSS, a very, very happy holiday and a very, very happy Easter if you are celebrating. Relax and enjoy the fortnight’s break. We look forward to seeing everyone again for term three, on Monday 17th April.

Lots has gone on this week.

Very soon some of our S3-S6 pupils will begin working towards their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh with Miss Jamieson, Miss Norman and Miss Macdonald. Some of the pupils have already started working towards this through their litter picking, class volunteering and FTT at Barrhead.

Mark (S4) passed his National 2 English and Communication course, well done Mark!

The S1 class made some fabulous model helmets with Miss Christo and Miss Spence, based on ancient Greece. We need to get some photos to show them off!

Today is Casper’s 17th birthday. Happy birthday, Casper!

One more week of term, before the Easter holidays. Let’s hope we have lots of photos to share with you next Friday.

This week was another busy week with pupils hard at work across the school. Pupils in S2, S4 and S5 are picking their options for the year ahead over the next few weeks.

Today is Comic Relief and Culture Day. Pupils came dressed in their own clothes and there were opportunities to buy foods from other cultures and around the world. Photos will follow soon.

This has been another busy, successful week. Only three to go until the Easter holidays!

Congratulations to Mark (S4) who passed his National 2 English and Communication Creating Texts assessment. This was all based on The Jungle Book, which we have been studying.

The S3 group made apple turnovers in FTT this week. Some of them will use their cooking experiences as part of their Duke of Edinburgh which will be starting soon. These are Jonny’s – they look great!

Finally, Casper continues to have fun on his college course. Here he is after his successful travels to Hollywood Bowl at the Quay in Glasgow.

It is March already – welcome to Spring!
This week everyone has coped really well with the two extra days of no school in the middle of the week.
Thursday was S4 Parents’ Evening. It was nice to see parents in person again and share all our positive news.

Sharon (S6) was delighted to be able to study a book she has recently bought and brought from home. She is going to work through Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Miss Jamieson in English.

Some of the senior pupils are involved in developing a health and wellbeing programme based on the homonculi approach, which we started last year as a short, ten week project. They are the ‘guinea pigs’ for a longer course. Today they begun creating characters that are in their heads and can support them when issues, problems and fears arise.
