Brigadoon Launch CD today!

Brigadoon are delighted to announce our first EP released today!!!!  The EP includes 3 original songs written by Findlay MacMillan (S5) one of which is his very own Christmas Song “That time of year”.

 After a lengthy recording process we are delighted with the final production on the EP.  We would love it if you were able to support the band as the costs of hiring a professional studio were large!!

We are selling the EP for only £4 the EP which contains 3 originals and the Christmas bonus track – what a bargain!

 If you would like a copy could you please contact Mrs MacVicar, Performing Arts Faculty directly or via the School Office – 0141 582 0180.

Eco-Code Competition

As part of our efforts to be awarded a third Green Flag from Eco Schools Scotland, we need to replace our present school Eco Code.

This encourages all in the school to adopt / continue a number of measures, covering the following Eco School topics:  

Litter, Biodiversity, Food & The Environment,  Recycling and Energy Conservation – e.g. reduce our litter, food waste and energy use, help to conserve animals and plants.

The new code could be an image, an acronym or just a short list of pledges – whatever form, whether paper or electronic, the Eco code should be snappy, catchy or memorable to catch peoples’ attention.

Pupils can enter as many efforts as they want and give their entries to Mr Raeburn, Ms Jamieson or Ms Gallagher by Friday 25 January 2013.

The winning entry, as chosen by the Eco Committee, will win a £25 iTunes voucher

Copies of the winning entry will be displayed on the Eco School notice board.

Other copies may appear through the school, but in an eco – friendly way, to reduce the amount of paper, the code will be displayed on the plasma screen.

Lourdes Wins Glasgow Cup

Pupils were invited to write a speech based on a list of topics and present these speeches at Glasgow’s distinguished City Chambers. A host of dignitaries formed part of the audience as well as the panel of judges, including the Lord Provost of Glasgow, Sadie Docherty, who introduced the event.

Silly Sock Day – Friday 9th November

This year, the S6 Higher Leadership class is raising money to buy Christmas presents for the children at CHAS’ Robin House hospice, which is having families staying there on Christmas Day for the first time. By paying 50p to wear the most ridiculous socks you own to school on Friday 9th November, you can help us kickstart our fundraising and allow CHAS to give the families of terminally ill children the best Christmas possible. We’re looking forward to seeing your silly socks!
