Future Pathways- S6 and Life Beyond Hillhead High

We are hosting an information evening for parents/carers of pupils in S4, S5 and S6 to give out information about opportunities that are available in S6 and to also support you in helping your child with their transition from school to employment, college or university.
Please read this letter for more information and if you are able to attend please return the tear off slip at the bottom of the letter or email me directly at gw12richardsonjack@glow.sch.uk

Mental Health Week


Mental Health Week:

Monday, October 7th- Friday, October 11th

Next week, a number of activities and lessons will focus on Mental Health & Well-Being. Click here for the timetable: Mental Health Week 2019

Thursday is World Mental Health Day, and pupils are invited to wear something yellow with  their school uniform (jumper, t-shirt etc). The S6 Leadership Team will be distributing free yellow stickers to those who wish to wear them in order to raise awareness. There will be an opportunity to make a small donation for this important cause with all donations going to  the charity SAMH. You can find out more about their work here: https://www.samh.org.uk/

We are so proud to have received a Highly Commended Reading Inspiration Award from the First Minister’s Reading Challenge!

On Monday we received this exciting recognition during the FMRC event at The Hilton in Glasgow. We took our 10 Literacy Leaders to showcase our reading journey and by request, a “pop up book bar!” We cannot wait to continue our Reading Challenge journey and our focus of Mental Health and Well-Being.
