Pupils from the school’s Performing Arts Department were invited by North Lanarkshire Council to perform at the authority’s prestigious ‘CANcan Initiative’ launch at Motherwell Civic Centre on Monday 23 January.   The ‘CANcan Initiative’ is North Lanarkshire’s response to the government’s ‘Scottish Attainment Challenge’ which hopes to focus and accelerate improvement amongst pupils in literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing in certain local councils, including North Lanarkshire.   Braidhurst pupils once again did themselves proud as our sibling pipers, Cameron and Zoe May, put on a rousing performance, including ‘Scotland the Brave’ whilst the wind band entertained everyone with their rendition of ‘Shut Up and Dance’ and ‘Let it Go’.   Principal Teacher of Performing Arts Kimberley Donnelly remarked that “our pupils did really well today and performed like true professionals.  They all did us proud with so many compliments”.
