The Guidance Team are organising a trip to the Higher Education Fayre set up by UCAS on Sept 14 – 9 am to 11 am..
UCAS exhibitions are a unique opportunity for students – and anyone supporting them – to explore the wide range of opportunities available after school or college, all in one setting. Whether they’re interested in applying to uni or looking at alternative options, they’re sure to find something that appeals to them!
There are 60 places on offer – contact your guidance teacher.
On Saturday 17th June a group of young people who attend an after school group with Bellshill Youthwork – Community Learning and Development team – took part in the Mini Mudder obstacle course at Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire. Mini mudder is a 1 mile run where young people tackle various muddy and wet obstacles and challenges and get round the course by working as part of a team. The group consisted of 1st year pupils from both Bellshill Academy and Cardinal Newman HS and they are aiming to complete a North Lanarkshire Challenge Award.
CNHS and Bellshill Youthwork Team are extremely proud of everyone in the group, their attitude and belief in themselves in tackling this course,not just as an individual but as part of a team, was outstanding. They worked well together, listened to instructions, took part and helped each other around the course and most of all they had an amazing amount of fun. It is great to see the pupils from two schools bond together on the day, make new friends and face difficult challenges together.
Other photos can be viewed in the facebook page – Bellshill Youthwork.
