Forgewood Community Centre
On Friday 8th of July, Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne attended the opening of Forgewood Community centre. We were delighted to be invited to display some of the work from the school. Logan Holbourne, Ellie Brady, Lauren Wright, Melissa Rodger,Holly Worton and Kieran and Ben McDougall gave up some of their own time during the school holidays to attend the event. they were introduced to Princess Anne and were involved in taking her on a tour of the new facilities. As a school we are extremely excited about this new addition in and for the community and look forward to working closely with those involved to create links for learning, life and work.
Sunshine on Leith
With just over a week to go until the 38th annual Braidhurst High School show, pupils are rehearsing non stop, preparing to put on yet another world class evening of entertainment for the local community.
This year’s show “Sunshine on Leith” (featuring the songs of The Proclaimers) follows the highs and lows of Ally and his friend Davy as they return home to Leith from the army. Families, friendships and life are not all plain sailing in this funny and moving story about love and life.
This years show will take place in the assembly hall on Wed 15th & Thu 16th June 2015 at 7:30pm
Tickets still available priced £4 for Adults, £2 for children & £10 for Family ticket (2 Adults + 2 Children). Contact Mrs Hunter in the Maths Dept.
S4/S5 study leave extended
Following discussion with other North Lanarkshire Head Teachers it has been decided to extend study leave for S4/5 pupils until the 6th June 2016.
Having received notification yesterday, we are currently unable to input information into the SEEMIS system, this has delayed the process by one week.
During the next week if you child wishes to come into school to discuss their options for S5/S6 they are welcome to do so. Please note however that they are expected to wear full school uniform.
School show rehearsals will continue as normal. Please check the Performing Arts twitter feed for the most up to date arrangements (@braidhustmusic).
We look forward to welcoming all senior pupils back on Mon 6th June 2016 at 8:55am when you should report to the assembly hall.

Happy Birthday Mrs Keatings
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Mrs Anne-Marie Keatings celebrated her 60th birthday last Friday. Mrs Keatings has been a teacher of French and German for the past 14 years in Braidhurst, having formerly taught in Dalziel High School.
A surprise party was organised for her in the school Hub at lunchtime by her colleagues in the Modern Languages Department, and she was joined by many other members of staff from across the school.
Staff sang a birthday song composed especially to mark the occasion and then enjoyed some party food including, of course, a slice of her delicious birthday cake!
Mrs Keatings is a very popular and respected member of staff and everyone enjoyed making her special day so much fun!
