100 pupils and staff recently visited Blackpool Pleasure Beach as part of our celebrating success program which promotes positive behaviour and attendance at school. Departing school at 6:30am, the pupils all had a wonderful day out riding “the big one” the UK’s tallest roller-coaster, revolution the UK’s first looping coaster as well as the flying machines, ghost train and dodgems…

Literacy Event
The school kicked off its Literacy celebrations, to mark International Literacy Day, on Friday 8th September, with a fantastic author visit from Alex Nye in the library.
S3 English were an excellent audience; listening intently to Alex as she talked of her books and career as a writer, and asking lots of questions, such as: “If you didn’t write ghost stories what genre would you write?”, or “What books inspired you as a young person?”, and “Do you have a fixed place where you write or can you write anywhere?” Alex was very inspiring and pupils (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed her visit.

Police Scotland came into Braidhurst to reinforce a key message. They are currently running a campaign across across North Lanarkshire to clamp down on underage drinking and adults who are prepared to buy alcohol for children.
Vulnerable Road User Campaign
Vulnerable Road User Campaign
Between Monday 19th and Sunday 25th June, in conjunction with our Roads Policing colleagues, Lanarkshire Division will be engaging with the public to educate, enforce and positively influence road user behaviour.
There will be various strands to the campaign which will include:
• educating children and young people walking and cycling on roads
• motorcycle safety
• speeding
• inconsiderate driving behaviours
Our aim is to reduce road incidents. As such, we wish to engage with as many people as possible. Working with our community planning partners, we would like to cascade the message and encourage children, young people and adults alike to take responsibility for their own safety and to be mindful of the hazards walking and cycling on the roads present.
You can find out more about what we’re up to on Facebook and Twitter using the hash tag #GoSafeRoadSafe.
With your help, we can reduce the number of children, young people and families affected by road collisions. A Scotland where no one is seriously hurt or killed on the roads is our ambition.
Our partners at www.roadsafetyscotland.org.uk and www.cyclingscotland.org are excellent sources of information and resource.
Over the week, our local problem solving team officers will be liaising with local schools and delivering appropriate advice to staff, pupils and parents alike.
Lanarkshire Division appreciates the assistance the local authority gives as a partner to keep people safe in North Lanarkshire
