Literacy Stars of the Month – January

Congratulations to January’s Literacy Stars of the Month. This month’s competition combined with this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day theme of ‘Journeys’. Pupils were asked to write about a difficult or life-changing journey or experience. Once again, the standard of work that was submitted was extremely impressive. All of the winning entries are now on display in the English corridor.

Well done to January’s ‘Stars’:  1st Lisa Conlon (2C1); 2nd Stuart Murphy (2C1); 3rd equal Cara Sinnett (1H1) and Meghan Hill (2C1).

S1 Football

The first year football team won their first league match of the season, coming out on top by the odd goal in five in a thrilling 3-2 contest away to Caldervale High School from Airdrie. The Valley side started well and took a 1-0 lead in a game that was closely contested throughout. The home side equalised and then edged into a 2-1 lead. However, the Clyde Valley side showed great resilience to claw back to level terms before snatching the all-important winner in the second half.

Ross Hayhoe, with a double, and Logan Lawrie netted for Clyde Valley. Every single player in the squad played his part in a most encouraging win for Mr Conway’s side. A special mention must go to David Kennedy, however, for an inspiring man-of-the-match performance.
