School Show 2015
Set in the USA, Back To The 80’s tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High in the 1980’s. 17-year-old Corey is madly in love with Tiffany Houston, one of the coolest girls in the school. However, she is too busy mooning over Michael Feldman, the hottest guy around. Michael and his friends are athletic and good-looking – the kind of guys that Corey and his two best friends dream of being. However, while they may not be the coolest guys in school, they are still one up on Fergal McFerrin, who believes the crazy notion that one day CD’s will replace cassette tapes…
The plot follows Class President Elections, the arrival of several new students, and the teachers’ own issues. Throw in a Star Wars dream sequence, high-energy dance routines, the obligatory 80’s party scene, as well as some of the most popular songs ever written.

AUGUST INTAKE
Braidhurst High recently held a very productive meeting for parents of the new intake in August. Prior to the start of the meeting, Academy Uniform Company sold uniform. The rector, Mr Hannan, welcomed parents and outlined key aspects of the school while emphasising the desire for parents to become fully engaged and work with staff during their child’s time in the school. Ms Ruth Anderson, Depute in charge of the first two years, then outlined the timetable arrangements for the following two days visit to Braidhurst. The school also encouraged involvement in the Parent Teacher and Friends Association by welcoming new members.
COACHING SESSION
Around forty primary seven pupils who have been selected for the Scottish FA School of Football and Performance School of Football projects based in Braidhurst, recently attended an after-school training session where they worked with SFA coaches Paul Burns and Gordon Craig. This was a high intensity session allowing the players to sample what they might expect when they join the school in August. The pupils were also fitted for SFA kit which is provided and must be worn for the daily coaching sessions.
SCOTTISH SELECTION
The school recently learned the excellent news that no fewer than eight of the pupils involved in the SFA initiatives running in the school have been selected to participate in national camps. The boys will work with SFA staff including Scott Gemmill the International under 15 Team Coach and Neil Mackintosh the SFA Performance Manager. In the under 15 group Rico Quitongo, Dylan Falconer and Jake Hastie have been selected with Max Potter, Tom Leighton, Aaron Black, Kieran McGrath and Lewis Gamble selected at under 14 level
