Outdoor Classroom

First year pupils enjoyed an active and thought-provoking two days with the Outdoor Classroom Project. The school’s technical and Physical Education departments created a series of challenges from bridge-building to orienteering to test and improve the problem-solving and decision-making skills of pupils. Groups showed excellent team work and determination to complete all of the tasks to the best of their abilities. The pupils will now aim to transfer the skills learned in all areas of the project as they progress into second year.

Tinto Hill

A group of 35 S1 Braidhurst pupils took part in an organised ascent of Tinto Hill for the St. Andrew’s Hospice charity. All 35 managed to complete the difficult climb and enjoyed panoramic views and lunch at the top of the Cairn. The group were accompanied by Mr. McGuire and Mr. Hussain from the science department and classroom assistant Miss Sweeney. The weather conditions were excellent and the pupils thoroughly enjoyed their day out although there were some sore feet at the end!
