A handful of girls from the dance club recently auditioned to compete in the North Lanarkshire Dance Competition. We are presenting seven solo/duos and four group entries. The event will take place at Greenfaulds High School next week and all girls are extremely excited to perform. Wish them luck!
Many pupils across S1-3 took part in the recent North Lanarkshire Cross Country Championships last week. All pupils did very well to complete the challenging course. Miss Young was delighted with the effort and conduct from all pupils who participated.
Our Parent Group held a Spring Fayre on Saturday the 12th of March. There was various stalls, bouncy castle and tea room. We also had a very successful car wash in operation. We are delighted to announce the total raised was £1500 and are very grateful for everyone who gave their time, donated items, in particular local business who gave us many items for the raffle, and helped or attended on the day. All the money goes to supporting our pupils. Hopefully, now they have recovered, our Parent Group will consider making this an annual event.
Congratulations to fourth year pupil Scott Bell who has been selected to represent Scotland U16 Rugby Team at the Conwy International Rugby Festival in Wales.
A meeting will be held in Braidhurst High School on Tue 8th Mar 2016 from 6pm to 8pm.
The meeting is open to all who live or own properties in Woodville Rise, Forgewood.
A group of S3 girls attended Coatbridge community Fire station to take part in the fire reach programme. The week course consisted of team building exercises, constructing a home fire plan, practical activities including scenes where the girls had to rescue casualties from home fires and road traffic accidents and a comprehensive health and safety programme.
The girls developed communication and transferable skills through taking part in practical rescue exercises and group work. They finished the week with a presentation in front of parents, fire personnel and teachers.
This included a practical demonstration of a rescue from a road traffic accident which involved the girls arriving in the fire appliance, removing the roof of the vehicle. Rescuing the casualty from the vehicle using the appropriate apparatus. Administering CPR at the scene and working together to ensure all participants were safe.
The girls enjoyed their experience and worked hard to achieve a recognised National 4 award.
On Saturday 12th of March Braidhurst’s Parents’ Group are hosting a Spring Fayre at the school. The event will run from 10.30am till 1.30pm. On the day there will also be a bouncy castle with slide to entertain the little ones, a car wash, tombola, raffle, face painting and a variety of stalls selling everything from jewellery to DVDs.
We are grateful to those who have already donated including Gordon Strachan who took time out his busy schedule to autograph a football.
Plus if you are feeling peckish there will be hotdogs, tea, coffee and home baking on sale. Entry is free.
Stalls are also available to hire by local traders so if you are interested in doing so please contact Ms R Anderson on 01698 274999.
