Braidhurst launched this year’s extra curricular clubs and activities at a meeting for S1 pupils and their parents.   The well attended meeting gave Mrs Rooney an opportunity to speak to the parents for the first time.   She said “our pupils are the best reflection of the school and I am very impressed by the manners and behaviour of our young people”.   A number of pupils gave a presentation about the clubs they participate in:  Joe Farmer (badminton), Kieran McDougall (music), Leah McTavish and Jenna Young (French club), Scott Bell (North Lanarkshire Wind Band), Ben McDougall (Drums), Gillian Scott (Netball), and Eryn Lawrie (School Show).   All demonstrated the confidence and fun they had gained from taking part in these activities.   They were a real credit to the school.   At the end of the meeting pupils had the opportunity to look round some displays and sign up for this year’s clubs.

Mrs Rooney said “I am delighted that our staff are willing to give of their own time to provide opportunities for our young people.   She urged them to give it a try”.
