NLC sustainability conference
Mr Hussain and some fantastic Braidhurst pupils enjoyed showcasing their brilliant robotics at the recent NLC sustainability conference. Excellent opportunity to see the great work other schools are doing and link with STEM partners.
PCR Workshop
Our Higher Human Biology pupils recently took part in a very interesting and topical workshop on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. The session was led by staff from TimStar Laboratories and was very hands-on as pupils were given the chance to handle the testing equipment whilst learning about the step-by-step process.
Lush Workshop
Recently a group of S4 N5 Lab Skill pupils participated in a fantastic bath bomb making workshop delivered by the bath bomb experts from Lush. Pupils were given the opportunity to create their own scented bath bombs by using the required ingredients and following the recipe instruction. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
GROWTH MINDSET
To celebrate Star Wars Day, on Tuesday 4th May, the Science Department created a fantastic Star Wars themed display on growth mindset and how it drives motivation and achievement. Miss Watson, Biology Teacher, was the mastermind behind the display which successfully captured the attention of our pupils as they battled the decision to either go to the dark side by maintaining a fixed mindset, or to follow the force with a growth mindset, which will assist them in their school assessments and help them achieve their ambitions. Which path will you choose?
P7 SCIENCE TRANSITION EVENT
The science department hosted their annual transition event for the school’s associated primary seven classes on Friday 22nd November. Upon arrival at Braidhurst, primary pupils and staff were escorted into the assembly hall where they participated in a series of fun and informative science experiments and were ably supported throughout by our senior pupils.
BRILLIANT CLUB – SCHOLAR PROGRAMME
On Monday 28th October a group of S3 pupils attended the University of Strathclyde for the launch of their Brilliant Club Scholar programme. This event marked the pupils’ first ever day at university. Good luck to all of our third year scientists!
