STEM Award for Braidhurst High School Robotics Club
With the start of the new academic year, it seems that the Braidhurst High School Robotics Club might be, hopefully on to a very successful year.
One of its teachers Mr Hussain has been honoured by his peers with an award in recognition for his efforts to encourage Braidhurst pupils to learn about STEM through the design, build and to participate in a global competition hosted by Vex Robotics.
Over the years, the club has been very successful and has built a strong foundation on which to continue this success into the future. The club is a true reflection of the diversity in the school.
Mr Hussain commented “I consider this award as belonging to all who have supported the club over the years, especially Mr Paterson the acting head of the Faculty of Technology, Mr Mearns the acting PT of Maths and Mrs Jeffrey from Learning Support”.
This award was given in the category of Inspiring Diversity in STEM and pictured with Mr Hussain are members of the Robotics Club.
This year Braidhurst High celebrates its 60th year and it looks like, hopefully, the school is off to a super start with the first of many awards to mark such a special occasion for its staff and pupils.
S1 Future Friday & Extra Curricular Night
We will be hosting an S1 Future Friday & Extra -Curricular sign up evening on 30th August at 6:30pm in the school. This night is an opportunity for pupils and parents/carers to discuss all extra-curricular opportunities in the school with those staff who will be running any regular clubs throughout the year. Pupils (or their parents/carers) are also encouraged to ‘sign up’ for the clubs that they are interested in either trying or committing to for the session. It has always been a fun and worthwhile night for all involved and is an opportunity to engage parents at an early opportunity within the year.
The format of the evening involves a short chat in the Assembly Hall, where an update of the start to the school year and explanation of the wonderful opportunities for all young people at Braidhurst will be heard, before the opportunity being given for each individual club to be showcased in the Canteen area. Staff or a representative from each club will be there to give further information and encourage our young people to commit to the club.
We hope to see you all at this very worthwhile event and ask that all parents/carers please complete the short survey:
