On Thursday 21^st December Braidhurst’s most infamous inter-house event took place, the annual Line Dancing competition.  Our competitors gathered in the assembly hall, dressed in their house colour,  and gave their all as they line danced to tunes such as ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ and ‘The Slosh’.  A team of judges watched the house competitors very closely and in the end announced Morven house as the event winners.  Well done to all who participated.

Over 200 pupils from all year groups enjoyed our annual Christmas dance on Wednesday 20^th December.  Pupils participated in the traditional social dancing of the ‘Gay Gordons’ and the ‘Canadian Barn Dance whilst also showing off their dance moves to more up-to-date tunes.  Thanks to the staff who supported this event, producing a buffet and managing the dance hall.

We were delighted to be able to deliver 25 Christmas Hampers to people in the local community.   Our pupils and staff brought in goodies and staff made up boxes.   We were delighted to be able to deliver so many.

Due to the weather conditions this evening’s S2 parents’ night will be postponed until the 23rd of January.

Appointment times will remain the same.

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 2^nd smaller group of S5/S6 pupils headed in the opposite direction to our nation’s capital spending the day at the Edinburgh Christmas markets.
