Daisy the Guide Dog Puppy

Daisy the Guide Dog Puppy and Guide Dog puppy walker Margaret Cullen visited Coltness High School to collect a cheque for £400.00. The money had been raised by the 3rd Year ASDAN pupils selling Easter egg knitted chicks to pupils and staff and since 2013 the group have raised £2524.40 for Guide Dogs. Mrs Creelman, one of our Science Technicians, also gifted 11 blankets that she had knitted and crocheted for new Guide Dog puppies. Thanks very much to Mrs Creelman, the 3rd Year ASDAN pupils and all pupils and staff for supporting Guide Dogs. Written by Mrs Leckie.

Rotary Club Technology Tournament 2017

A team of S1 and S3 pupils from the Technologies Faculty at Coltness High School recently entered the Rotary Club Technology Tournament 2017 at Kilsyth Academy. The team was supported at the event by their Technical teacher, Mr Marc McDonald. The S1 team performed incredibly well on the day, however the brilliant S3 design team emerged as overall winners out of the North Lanarkshire Schools. The winning team are pictured with their beautiful glass winner’s trophy and they will also receive a certificate of achievement to mark the occasion. The boys successfully designed a vehicle which was powered by an electric motor and which was decorated with a suitable, charity-based logo. The winning S3 group chose to promote the British Heart Foundation.
