On Wednesday 21^st June celebrating success assemblies were held at Airdrie Academy.  These provide an opportunity to recognize the wider achievements of our pupils.  Between this group of assemblies and our S5/6 assembly before study leave, 860 awards were presented.  Pupils are engaged in a vast array of activities ranging from school clubs and House events to charity and voluntary work.  We are very proud of our pupils achievements and enjoyed celebrating their successes in this series of assemblies.

The S2 Food Studies classes recently took part in a competition to design and make a healthy snack for a teenager which had to be suitable to be sold in the school canteen. The winning product was Pizza Parcels. Congratulations to Cara, Lucy, Hayley  and Holly  who designed the product.

A group of S3 pupils from Airdrie Academy were recently runners up in the Speaking Up 2017 public speaking competition.

Having been successful in their heat held at St Maurices’s High School they progressed to the finals held in Bellshill Cultural Centre on Tuesday 30^th May.

They are part of our newly formed public speaking group who meet at lunchtimes to develop their skills.  The other members of the group have been invaluable providing ideas and supporting the team throughout the competition.  This was the groups first ever competition and we are very proud of them.

Congratulations to Jude, Molly and Saif  on this achievement.
