Third year pupil Scott Bell is making rapid progress in the world of rugby. Scott who started playing rugby in first year has now been selected for the Glasgow Chiefs, a team made up of the best young rugby talent in the West of Scotland.
Scott has made two appearances from the Chiefs winning both games. Despite his success Scott has set his sights even higher eventually wanting to sign professionally for the Glasgow Warriors.
Pupils at Braidhurst are pictured participating in the S1 Inter Disciplinary Project. The project titled ‘The Outdoor Classroom’ was a combination of activities as delivered by several departments throughout the school. The overall theme was to develop problem solving skills and emotional resilience. To achieve this pupils participated in seven fantastic activities ranging from habitat Sampling with Science to Bridge Building with the Technology department. Now safely back in school all pupils will continue to build upon what they have learned in each of the departments.
Braidhurst High was recently delighted to accept the gift of a framed Benfica Football Club strip from former SFA Performance coach Gordon Craig. The strip was given to Gordon when the SFA Performance group recently spent a week training with Benfica in Portugal.
Tickets for ‘Back to the 80s’ are how on sale from Mrs Hunter at the school. The show will take place on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th June in the school hall. The tickets are priced at £4 for adults and £2 for children.
Braidhurst High will this year award a joint dux to fifth year pupils Marc Armitage and Gillian Scott. Both have outstanding academic records throughout their five years at the school, including fifth year. Marc came to the school through the Scottish FA School of Football initiative, whereas Gillian is local and is a high performance netball player. The Rector Mr Hannan commented, “This was such a difficult decision with a larger number of highly able candidates than I can remember. It was such a delight to inform the pair and hear them offer each other congratulations”.
Braidhurst’s very own ‘Don`t Fret’ will be competing in The Big Gig @ Hamilton Accies football stadium on the 10th June 2015.

Braidhurst are proud to performing “Back To The 80’s” for this year’s school show. Set in the USA, Back To The 80’s tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High in the 1980’s. 17 year old Corey is madly in love with Tiffany Houston, one of the coolest girls in the school. However, she is too busy mooning over Michael Feldman, the hottest guy around. Michael and his friends are athletic and good-looking – the kid of guys that Corey and his two best friends dream of being. However, while they may not be the coolest guys in school, they are still one up on Fergal McFerrin, who believes the crazy notion that one day CDs will replace cassette tapes…. The plot follows Class President Elections, the arrival of several new students, and the teachers’ own issues. Throw in a Star Wars dream sequence, high-energy dance routines, the obligatory 80’s party scene, as well as some of the most popular songs ever written and you have a recipe for some outrageous fun.
Pupils have been working hard attending rehearsals and getting their neon t-shirts, leg warmers and crimpers ready to go. As always, we have pupils from S1-S6 participating, with some even playing in the band! They are certainly wearing out their dancing feet and getting into the groove with songs like Kids in America, Footloose and Walking on Sunshine.
