This was a tremendous achievement by the four young people, three of whom have just finished sixth year, with one returning to complete sixth year. The recipients were Gemma Park, David Kirk, Jacob Smith and Dayle Archibald. The Rector, Mr Derrick Hannan, said “The entire school join with me in warmly congratulating these young people in winning these prestigious awards. It is in recognition of the quite outstanding service they have made to the school community and beyond”.
Braidhurst High School hosted its annual Summer Transition Programme last week. A large group of young people took part in a wide range of curricular activities including science, art, PE, photography and special effects makeup. The Summer Programme helps ease the transition from primary to secondary and gives young people the opportunity to meet new friends, meet members of staff and find their way around the school building before the start of term. On the final day the group went to Blair Drummond Safari Park for fun with the sea lions, giraffes and lions.
Parent Teachers & Friends Association members will meet for the first time this session on Thursday 29 August at 7 pm in the staffroom. The main item of discussion will be the forthcoming fund raising Race Night. Following this meeting members of the Parent Council will meet the Rector to discuss a range of school related business.
Motherwell FC kindly invited the boys who last session won the Scottish Schools under-14 football shield to the home tie against Partick Thistle. The boys who were accompanied by parents and staff thoroughly enjoyed the entire occasion. They had their photograph taken on the pitch at half-time and walked around the park displaying the Scottish and Lanarkshire shields. The entire crowd gave them a rousing ovation much to their delight. The match programme also included a two page spread in honour of their achievement.
