The school hosted a fantastic evening of music, dance and drama on Tuesday 18th June at its annual summer concert, the ‘Symphony of Success’. A packed audience in the school assembly hall thoroughly enjoyed the displays from our very talented pupils, whether it was a solo dance to Beyoncé, a musical medley from our incredible concert band, or an entertaining drama sketch. A highlight of the night featured the school’s wider community as the local primary school choirs from Muir Street and Logans took to the stage together to sing a selection of songs. The school are very proud of its fantastic pupils and would like to thank all school staff who were on hand to make the night roaring success, especially the staff of the Performing Arts department, Miss Donnelly, Mr Crawford and Mrs Reilly.

SUPPORTING ST ANDREW’S HOSPICE
Braidhurst High School were delighted to present a cheque for £3000 to St Andrew’s Hospice which has been raised by staff and pupils over the last couple of years. Their generosity and hard work was much appreciated by the hospice.
S3 MENTAL HEALTH DAY
On Tuesday 19 February all S3 pupils participated in a day to promote positive mental health. During the morning the pupils attended four out of six workshops focused on improving their mental health, including Yoga, Mindfulness and Nutrition. These 30 minute sessions gave pupils tasters of ways they can and manage their mental health, places they can contact for additional support and stories about what can happen when you neglect your mental health. All of the experts who presented the workshops complimented the school on how enthusiastic and welcoming the S3 pupils were.
In the afternoon Braidhurst High School had the pleasure of hosting Manchester-based rock hand ‘The Hara’ who played some of their songs for the pupils, before delivering a talk about their own personal experiences with mental health, bullying and cyber problems, such as ‘catfishing’. Afterwards the band signed autographs and took photos with pupils. All the S3 pupils spoken to say they really enjoyed the day and The Hara are likely to have a few new fans from Braidhurst High School.
MALAWI FUNDRAISING
The Malawi fundraising team were in action again over St. Valentine’s Day where they raised money by selling chocolate hearts of singles roses in the school foyer for £1 each.
POWER OF YET WORKSHOPS
The school recently ran a series of ‘Power of Yet’ workshops delivered by ‘Live n Learn’ to our S2 pupils. ‘Live n Learn’ are a team of specialist presenters who focus on the development of young minds through a mantra of contrast improvement. The ‘Power of Yet’ sessions are very valuable as they raise aspirations, help pupils embrace struggle, teach them to cope with setbacks and give them the impetus to believe in themselves.
