At the recent special presentation ceremony, five Clyde Valley senior pupils were proud recipients of the Convener’s Award for Academic Excellence in the 2012 SQA examinations. Jane Liddell, Head of Service, welcomed the gathering of award winners and senior staff from North Lanarkshire secondary schools. Councillor Jim Logue, Convener of the Learning and Leisure Services Committee then presented his special award to those pupils from across the whole of the Council who had attained either 8 Standard Grade Credit 1 passes, or 5 Higher Grade A passes. Jordan Dunnachie, Sarah Thomson and Kirstin Scott excelled at Standard Grade, while Grant Crichton and Glenn McBride performed impressively at Higher.
