One of our new 1st Year pupils won the ‘Read to Succeed’ poster competition. Every year in June the school librarian runs a library competition between all the new P7 pupils’ coming to join us here at Coltness High School. The winning entry was outstanding and can be seen in the library with all the other great entries. Mr Swinton, the Partnership Officer will replicate her poster and make a permanent feature of it on one of the library walls. Smaller posters will be put up around the school to encourage pupils’ to ‘Read to Succeed’. This competition also coincides with North Lanarkshire’s ‘Read to Succeed’ initiative that will be launched very soon.

The final transitions event for the incoming S1 is on Monday 13th August, 9.30am- 1pm. Pupils who wish to be involved should congregate in the Assembly Hall for 9.30am. Written by Mr Farr.

Mrs Leckie’s third year Book Group pupil’s had a successful book buying trip to Waterstones book store in Glasgow to purchase many new books for the school library. The girls have been in the book group since first year and are avid book readers so they are very well qualified in choosing books that will appeal to pupils. We were given a guided tour of this huge store in Sauchiehall Street and we were privileged to be able to have our lunch in the Harry Potter Common Room.             Written by Mrs Leckie.
