Congratulations to all our staff and pupils who made our ‘Variety for Malawi’ show such a success this year.   The show was in aid of our newly established Malawi group and all proceeds were donated to the project.   Over 40 pupils worked extremely hard over the last few months preparing and perfecting their performances and certainly wowed the audience and judges on the night.   We were also delighted to have representatives from the local primaries.   All pupils and staff were treated to a post-show lunch the following day to celebrate their efforts and overall success of the night.

The Malawi group have raised over £400 since March this year which has been a tremendous effort and great start to the project.

On Wednesday 7^th June the annual Braidhurst prom took place at Dalziel Park Hotel.   Pupils met at the school, dressed in their finery, to be transported by bus to the venue.   Once inside guests were treated to a delicious 3 course meal, followed by an awards ceremony presented by Mr Hamilton and Dr Gardner and then entertainment from a local DJ.   Throughout the evening everyone had the opportunity to take lots of photographs to mark the special occasion.   As usual the prom was a great success with many staff also in attendance to say their goodbyes to those pupils who are moving on.   All pupils had a great evening and made memories that will last a lifetime.

On Monday 22^nd May, Braidhurst pupils and staff climbed Tinto Hill to raise funds for St Andrew’s Hospice.   Everyone was delighted to reach the summit and to raise money for such a good cause.

A team of S1 chemists recently enjoyed a great day at The University of Glasgow’s Salters’ Festival 2017.   Overall eighteen schools attended and the young people participated in two competition challenges.   Braidhurst was represented by Finlay Anderson, Iona Eldhose, Craig McCall and Jay Miller who all did brilliantly by coming second in the afternoon’s university challenge.
