HEART START
Three forth year pupils recently received certificates to mark their successful completion of the British Heart Foundation’s Heart Start programme. The pupils were very keen to experience the course which they attended after school. They are now proficient in CPR, recovery position, dealing with suspected heart attacks, chocking and bleeding. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the course and appreciate how useful it may be in their lives.
DARCI BURNS
S4 pupil Darci Burns recently accompanied the North Lanarkshire Schools Pipe Band to the ‘Big Apple’, New York City, to take part in the annual ‘Tartan Day’ parade on Saturday 6th April. This is a fantastic achievement by all the pupils and staff involved, who not only marched down Sixth Avenue as part of the parade procession, but also brought Grand Central Station to a standstill with their rousing version of, amongst other songs, ‘Scotland the Brave’, and appeared on national American television, ‘Fox and Friends’. Well done to Darci on a phenomenal achievement and experience.
