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.

Miss Rothery and Miss Lawrie recently created a brand new role for S2 pupils: Literacy Leaders!

After the success of our First Minister’s Reading Challenge, we were eager to create a special role in which S1 pupils moving into S2 could lead Literacy events, activities and more across the school.

With over 30 applicants and a week long interview process, 10 pupils were selected and given Literacy Leader badges & lanyards. We were so pleased to see so many enthusiastic applicants- it was truly inspirational!

For more information on our Literacy Leaders and how to become one, please visit our department blog and click under the ‘S2 Literacy Leader’ tab! https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/glowblogs/hillheadhighenglish/

It is for all of our new S2 pupils and will involve an array of exciting events and activities which help to promote all 4 aspects of Health & Wellbeing – Mental, Social, Emotional & Physical wellbeing.
