S4 English pupils recently enjoyed a trip to the Riverside Museum in Glasgow where they participated in an interactive guided tour of the museum to improve their understanding of the Scottish play ‘Sailmaker’, by Alan Spence, which they are studying as part of their National 5 English course. During the tour, pupils discovered information about the rise and fall of Glasgow’s shipbuilding, and the different jobs involved in the industry. The museum’s location, facing the site of Govan’s shipyards, helped to further set the scene. The visit served to enrich their knowledge of the play and support them in the run up to their SQA exams.
ROAD SAFETY CALENDAR COMPETITION
Art and Design pupils were very successful in the recent North Lanarkshire Road Safety Calendar design competition. They put a lot of effort into their designs and came top in their age group.

Iona Eldhose gained 2nd place and was awarded a £20 gift voucher. Whilst Ellie Anderson, Laiba Khan and Lennon Newell all were awarded Highly Commended certificates. Well done all!

The rewards trip was another success with all pupils and staff thoroughly enjoying the performance.
LINE DANCING
On Wednesday 19th December the school hosted its annual inter-house line dancing competition in the assembly hall. The event was fiercely contested, with pupils from each house group having practised their moves in the weeks leading up to the dance-off. However, on the day it was Rannoch house who impressed the judges, Mr Paterson, Mr Campbell, Miss Galloway, and Ms O’Donovan, the most with their line dancing prowess. Morven house were awarded second place, Lorne third place, and Atholl fourth place. Well done to all pupils who took part in the very successful event.
