Under 15 Scottish Cup

A brace from Dylan Kerr was enough to ensure that Braidhurst High School progressed to the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup at the expense of Nicolson Institute. The first-half was a tightly contested affair with chances few and far between but Braidhurst would take a one goal advantage heading into half-time. From twenty yards out, Dylan scored with an excellent long range strike that left the keeper with no chance. The second followed soon after the restart, an Alex Lowry corner-kick falling kindly to Dylan who fired into the roof of the net with his left foot. Craig Campbell was unlucky not to make it 3-0 to the hosts after his first time strike hit the bar but the match would end 2-0 to Braidhurst. Mr Clarke and Mr O’Toole were delighted that the Under 15s have now progressed further than the previous two years and the squad can now look forward to an away tie hoping to secure a place in the semi-finals.

Line-Up: Ryan Renwick; Ross Brownlie, Steven Rodger, Grant Mudd (Sub: Craig Cardno); Kyle Laikowski, Rhys Caves, Dylan Kerr, Craig Campbell, Matthew Barclay; Alex Lowry.

S2 STORYTELLING PROJECT – BEA FERGUSON

Our ‘Storytelling Project’ is currently being delivered to twenty second-year pupils by storyteller Bea Ferguson and is shaping up to be a fantastic initiative.  Pupils are tasked with finding their own story (perhaps a family story passed down from grandparents or other relatives) or researching a local legend from the Motherwell area (examples would be ghost stories from Dalzell House or the flooded village of Bothwellhaugh).  Bea will then teach the pupils how to write and then “perform” their story to an invited audience of family and friends at a tea party which will take place just before the school Easter holidays.  Pupils also recently enjoyed a field trip to North Lanarkshire Heritage Centre where they learnt more about Motherwell’s mining history and had access to the local studies archives.  It is hoped that the project will have a positive impact on both the creative and personal reflective writing skills of pupils, whilst also building their self-esteem and positivity about their communities.
