Please see below for a copy of the Easter School timetable which will run on Tuesday 3rd of April 2018 and Wednesday 4th of April 2018.

IMPORTANT: Due to the ongoing renovations in the school this year’s programme will only run for two days instead of three however we have added an extra afternoon session for each day.

There will be restricted access to the school with only the technical block, music department and part of the business/ICT corridor being used. Pupils should access the building via the tuck shop area doorway. There will be a sign in sheet in the tuck shop area and a note of which rooms staff have been allocated to.

There will be no heating in the building so a jumper/sweatshirt is highly recommended.  Pupils should also bring a packed lunch as we will not have canteen facilities.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Our ‘Storytelling Project’ is currently being delivered to twenty second-year pupils by storyteller Bea Ferguson and is shaping up to be a fantastic initiative.  Pupils are tasked with finding their own story (perhaps a family story passed down from grandparents or other relatives) or researching a local legend from the Motherwell area (examples would be ghost stories from Dalzell House or the flooded village of Bothwellhaugh).  Bea will then teach the pupils how to write and then “perform” their story to an invited audience of family and friends at a tea party which will take place just before the school Easter holidays.  Pupils also recently enjoyed a field trip to North Lanarkshire Heritage Centre where they learnt more about Motherwell’s mining history and had access to the local studies archives.  It is hoped that the project will have a positive impact on both the creative and personal reflective writing skills of pupils, whilst also building their self-esteem and positivity about their communities.

An Amber (Be Prepared) warning remains in place until 1000am on Friday 2 March.  North Lanarkshire Council area is covered by this warning.

As a consequence all schools and centres will be closed tomorrow (Friday 2/3/18).

Great news for the school and in particular its Art and Design department.  Braidhurst pupil, Ellie McGregor, gained 1st Place in the S1 – S6 group in this year’s ‘North Lanarkshire Road Safety Calendar’ competition. Ellie spent a great deal of time producing her poster idea for the competition and it certainly did the trick with the judges, being voted first place in the secondary school category.

This is fantastic news as she gained this place over 2000 other entries and has been presented with an award certificate and a voucher for £30 to spend at Argos.
