MSP VISIT
On Monday the 28th of November Higher Modern Studies, History and Geography pupils had the opportunity to meet with their MSP, Clare Adamson. All pupils approached the opportunity enthusiastically, relishing the chance to ask thought provoking and challenging questions. Mrs Adamson was engaging, taking the time to listen to and answer the questions of pupils. Lauren McKinstry, S6, said; “It was really interesting having the opportunity to ask an MSP the questions young people want to know, and finding out the roles they have and their different views on the local area.” Linzi McFarlane, S6, also said; “I enjoyed the visit from our local MSP. I found it very helpful because it gave me the opportunity to get information about the issues that I feel are important. As always all pupils were a credit to Braidhurst High School.
