Ali Reade, one of Yorkhill Children’s Hospital’s Fund-Raising Team was delighted to meet with some of the S6 pupils who took part in the school’s annual Charities Week event that raised £6,100 for Yorkhill. Mr Alan Carrol, Depute Head Teacher, described the week’s various activities to Ms Reade who congratulated everyone in the S6 team for their monumental efforts. She said,

‘It has been incredible to hear of the hard work and effort that the S6 pupils at Clyde Valley High School have put in to the 4 days of the Charities Week. I was very impressed to hear of the fun-filled fundraising week and can only imagine the dedication required from the S6 pupils. This donation will go a long way in providing the best medical care and support services from children and babies treated at Yorkhill Hospital and related services each year. Well done to everyone involved!’

Ali Reade receives the cheque donation from School Captain Eilidh McMath.

All pupils in first year enjoyed a day off timetable last week as they took part in the S1 Health Day. Throughout a busy and physically demanding day, each period, pupils moved on to a new activity. It was a fun-packed day and the school was delighted to welcome back so many former pupils who were acting as coaches, instructors and guides. Nathan Car, Darren Young, Laura Dudgeon and Stuart Broadfoot helped our Active Schools Coordinator, David Kennedy, to deliver the varied programme that included cycling, water sports, judo, orienteering and football.
