After the success of the school’s Parents’ Group Psychic Night fundraiser, where over £800 was raised, a member of the Parents’ Group agreed to donate £650 to the school’s prom committee. This donation will help to cover the costs of the Senior prom at Dalziel Park, including entertainment and transport for pupils. To mark the occasion, Braidhurst Parents’ Group Chairperson, Claire Wright, came into school to present members of the Prom committee with the greatly appreciated cheque.
