S3 MENTAL HEALTH DAY
The school hosted a Mental Health Day on Friday 13th March for our S3 pupils which was organised by Miss Pennock, Mr Barr and Miss Burns. S3 pupils participated in a series of workshops aimed at encouraging positive mental health and each session also offered advice and strategies on how to distress and keep anxiety and depression at bay. The workshops on offer to pupils were sessions from ‘You are my Sunshin’ (YAMS), Mandala colouring, Windmill Café, Tai Chi, Fun Fitness and Football for Fun, and Pilates. All pupils thoroughly enjoyed the day and gained some invaluable advice.
FAMILY LEARNING EVENTS
On Tuesday 10th March, S1 and P7 pupils and their parents, took part in Science or Music workshops after school which aimed to encourage parental engagement in the learning of our young people. Parents and carers were given the chance to see science and music teaching in action in the classrooms whilst also having some fun as they were learning. Thank you to our fantastic staff for organising the very successful event – Mrs McGurk, Home School Partnership Officer, and the staff of the Music and Science departments.

Braidhurst Food Bank
At a time of crisis our community values and strength lead us to think of and act on behalf of our most at need and vulnerable. While the next few weeks may well be challenging for many of us, for some the prospects are extremely bleak. Therefore we invite you to hand in to the school office tinned and dried goods that we can then distribute to those who we know would benefit from your generosity. This could include:
- Tinned fruit
- Tea bags
- Dried Pasta
- UHT Milk
- Breakfast Cereals
Basically anything non-perishable would be very useful. Please offer whatever you can and either hand it into the office or a member of teaching staff from Wednesday morning onwards.
Your help as always is greatly appreciated and hopefully together we can make a small difference.
