The annual day of dance for P6 and P7 pupils from Muir Street and Logans Primary was held on Friday 22^nd January.   It was a wonderful spectacle of Scottish Country Dance, the pupils wore tartan sashes and waistcoats adding to the atmosphere.   It was obvious the pupils had spent considerable time preparing for this event learning complex steps and dance patterns, thanks to teaching staff for working with the pupils.

Braidhurst S2 football squad travelled to Toryglen to face Holyrood High School in their Scottish Cup tie. After a closely contested opening Holyrood took the lead before Reece McAlear’s long range free kick levelled the scores before half time. Although the boys were the better team in the second half they found themselves 2-1 down which was against the run of play. However, they showed immense character and equalised again with Max McGuigan levelling the score with a magnificent lob. The match went to penalties and all five spot kicks for Braidhurst were converted meaning they are successfully through to the Quarter- Finals with a 5-4 win with Jamie Smith saving the decisive penalty. Well done boys!

Success for Braidhurst High Art & Design pupils. They recently prepared designs for the North Lanarkshire Road Safety calendar competition.
Two pupils gained placed awards. Lorraine Tollan S2 gained overall 1st place in her group, whilst Megan Pang managed a 3rd place in the same group. A further four other pupils also received
“Highly Commended” awards in their group. In all, a very enjoyable exercise for the pupils and one which they confidently rose to the top of their group.

Braidhurst High School made the long journey down to Peebles to take on their school team in the last 32 of the Scottish Cup. After an even start to the match, Liam Scott produced a fantastic piece of skill to eventually set up Dylan Morrow who broke the deadlock with a close range finish. Braidhurst then doubled their advantage soon after, Dylan the scorer once again only this time with a confident finish when 1 v 1 with the goalkeeper. Two further goals saw Braidhurst go into half time 4-0 up, coming via a sublime strike from Alistair Small and a rebounded effort from Max McGuigan. A sloppy start to the second half allowed Peebles to come back into the tie with two quick goals. However, Braidhurst were not to be denied and after great play from Mason Kelman sent Alistair through on goal, an emphatic finish ensured they would progress 5-2 winners from the tie. Mr O’Toole and Mr Duncan were delighted with the result. The Under 14s now face yet another away game, this time against the winners of Cathkin HS vs Holyrood Secondary, hoping to progress one stage further than last year.
