Celebrating Success: reward trips
On Friday 15th Dec over 200 Braidhurst pupils departed the school to various locations throughout central Scotland on reward trips as part of our Celebrating Success initiative.
Over 50 of our S1 pupils headed to Motherwell Civic Theatre to see this year’s panto “Jack in the Beanstalk” while our S2 pupils headed into Glasgow Quay to the new Odeon Luxe Cinema (where all the seats recline) followed by some American style Ten Pin Bowling.
With over 200 trampolines, 3 foam pits and even a ninja warrior course, over 60 of our S3 & S4 pupils headed to Flipout in Glasgow (the world’s largest Trampoline park) before also going bowling.
Our S5 & S6 pupils (plus a few extra S4 pupils) had two separate trips with one group heading to SOAR at Braehead where they took to the (indoor) slopes for some sledging fun at Snow Factor, before some adventure golf at Paradise Island and high wire stunts at the skypark. The 2nd smaller group of S5/S6 pupils headed in the opposite direction to our nation’s capital spending the day at the Edinburgh Christmas markets.
CHRISTMAS CARD
Braidhurst High Art and Design pupils were asked to submit their drawings to illustrate this year’s Christmas card. They made a fantastic job of preparing their work and the successful pupils work will be included in the design
UNDER 16 SCOTTISH CUP
Braidhurst’s Under 16s overcame a one goal deficit away to Newbattle HS on Tuesday afternoon to progress to the last 16 of the Scottish Cup. In what was a hard fought victory on a poor surface, the visitors got off to the worst possible start when they conceded inside the first five minutes. Their lead would be short-lived, however, as a terrific long ball from Liam Scott allowed Max McGuigan to finish expertly – calmly chipping the ball over the keeper to level the game. Just as it looked like the first half would finish even another terrific assist from Liam allowed Alastair to slot the ball home at the back post and put his side 2-1 in front. After the restart Braidhurst would be grateful to Tommy Hunter in goals for preserving their one goal lead. A through ball from midfield found a Newbattle striker and left him one-on-one with the keeper, but thanks to a terrific last ditch tackle outside the box Tommy thwarted their attack. This was a crucial moment in the game as minutes later Alastair rounded the opposition goalkeeper and squared to Liam to fire the ball into the back of the net, doubling his side’s advantage. Braidhurst controlled the rest of the match and should have been awarded a penalty late on when Kyle Laughlin was brought down in the box but the referee waved played on. They were unlucky not to finish the game further ahead after a strike from Max crashed back off the crossbar, but it would eventually end 3-1. Once again Mr Clarke and Mr O’Toole were delighted with the attitude shown by the boys, especially conceding so early on. Another away tie awaits Braidhurst, this time against the winners of Gryffe HS v Holyrood Secondary.
