Prom 2018

Celebrations were in full swing at last week’s annual senior prom with pupils and staff joining together for a night to remember. The prom is always a very stylish and glamourous affair as pupils were dressed in their finest whilst enjoying a delicious meal and lots of dancing at the disco held at Dalziel Park Hotel. The evening proved a fitting send off for those pupils either leaving Braidhurst or returning for S6. The school would like to wish pupils the very best of luck in the future and to thank the pupil prom committee and staff who helped organise another fantastic senior prom.

S5/6 INDUCTION DAY

Our new S5 and S6 pupils recently participated in a senior school induction day. Alongside an inspiring talk from Kieran Aitken, the founder of Orbit and recipient of Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2017, pupils took part in a range of team-building and problem solving activities.

MALAWI PROJECT – KIER CONSTRUCTION DONATION

 

Kier Construction kindly donated £300 towards Braidhurst High School’s Malawi project. Malawi Ambassadors Katie Kennedy and Robbie Caldwell accepted the cheque on Friday prior to their visit on Tuesday 5th June. Kier also donated protective clothing for pupils to wear whilst working in. The group would like to thank Kier for their very generous donation and will use it towards improving the educational conditions and environment in our linked school, Missan Jo CDSS, in Malawi.

TEDx YOUTH VISIT

In celebration of Year of Young People 2018, 30 S4 pupils attended the TedXYouth Glasgow event at the SEC and Armadillo.  Based on the successful TedxTalks events and YouTube channel, the TedxYouth event hosted a programme of live speakers and discussion labs to spark motivation and inspiration with young people.  Hosted by David Farrell and Jennifer Reoch, our young people heard from 9 speakers including Reece Hayes from the Princes Trust, Food Medic Dr Hazel Wallace and Mollie Hughes, the youngest woman in the world to successfully summit from both the north and south sides of Mount Everest.  The event was a fantastic opportunity for our young people to step out of their comfort zone, explore new ideas and discover their full potential.  They left inspired and motivated for the challenges ahead as they move into the senior phase.
