One of the school’s largest ever intakes started secondary school on 16 August with every single pupil in full school uniform. They all seemed really keen to start secondary following a quite extensive series of induction events spread throughout last session organised by Ms Ruth Anderson, Depute Head Teacher in charge of lower school. Senior pupils acted as guides to ensure that they found their way around the campus whilst various support staff worked with them in class to assist them in their learning. An assembly was held to make sure all administrative issues were understood and to encourage participation in the wider life of the school. At this early stage they seem in general to have adjusted well to life in Braidhurst. Parents and guardians certainly have supported the school policy of full school uniform.
New Staff also started the school in August with several appointments for additional staff likely in the weeks ahead. Included in the new staff are Mrs Susan Welsh in computing, Ms Claire Mullen in English, Ms Kirsty McNeill in music, Mr Alan Inch and Ms Lynne Barr in physical education, Mr Blair Cockburn in biology, Ms Kirsty Logan in geography as well as Mrs Catherine McKenna and Mrs Angela Sweeney as assistants in learning support.
