Exam Time – Business ICT
Phew! After a very busy 2nd term with coursework and assessments, all we have to do now is pass exams! Good luck to all our BusinessICT pupils who are sitting their National 5 or Higher exams in Accounting, Business Management, Computing or Admin & IT! Use all the resources that you have been given e.g. textbooks, notes, on-line resources such as Scholar.

Cathy MacPhail, author of 45 children’s and teen fiction books, visited 2nd year pupils’ on Tuesday 3rd May. She gave a really interesting talk on how she began her writing career and how she was inspired to write her first book in 1994 after her daughter was bullied.

Scottish Youth Cup Final
Motherwell U20’s beat their Hearts counter parts in the Scottish Youth Cup final at Hampden on Wednesday 27th April, Motherwell’s first Youth Cup final in 29 years. The score on the night was 5-2 to the Steelmen and thoroughly deserved! Former pupil David Turnbull who is still only sixteen had a starting berth in the match and played 70 minutes of the match putting in a very steady and excellent performance. This is a great achievement for anyone let alone someone playing 3 to 4 years above his age bracket, hopefully a sign of great things to come! The game was both live on BBC ALBA and played in front of a crowd of 2,700 spectators.
