Ryan – did not achieve the certificates this year as he has never ridden a bike before the course. He however achieved personal triumphs – learning to balance and pedal in a short space of time. He will achieve his certificates in the near future.

Harry – P6 pupil joined us from Mossend Primary and represented his school positively.

All pupils focused, worked hard and demonstrated the new skills they learned during the programme in their final showcase. The pupils are now ready to cycle on the streets safely and confidently, benefitting their personal health and well-being and the safety of drivers around them.

Kyle in S3 – was an excellent mentor for the group, helping to build the S1 pupils confidence.

S3 and S5/6 pupils carried out a river study along the river to build on the content they have been learning about in the National 3 and Higher Geography courses. They got their waterproofs on and got into the river – measuring the speed, width and depth of the river and they investigated the animal life and river bed material. Both year groups enjoyed their trips – fresh air, teamwork and hands on learning experiences.

World of Norm books are flying off the library shelves after the S1 author visit last week from Jonathan Meres. What a energetic and lively presentation – pupils loved it!

Bellshill Academy pupils are attending the Dragons’ Lair Event which is an initiative aimed at encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship in young people. It seeks to introduce them to the world of business, its importance to the economy and as a possible career option they may not have considered. The initiative is aimed at all S3 pupils in North Lanarkshire schools. We have a team of enthusiastic young learners who are representing Bellshill Academy; Uzair Sharif, Elle Gavin and Amy Hoskins.

Our Enterprise Club members are well on their way creating Christmas items. Our Enterprise Groups run every Monday and Wednesday. Any pupil who wishes to be part of the Club is welcome to come along to the Business and Creative Department and share their entrepreneurial skills.

The Bellshill Academy Film Club was very well represented last night, they signed up lots of new members.

Film Club runs on a Tuesday lunchtime in Art room 57 and all pupils are welcome to join.

Thank you to our wonderful seniors for all their help during the Fresher’s Event. Well done Gary, Lucy and Lewis. What excellent role models we have!

Thank you to all our S1 parents and carers who joined us last night to find out more about the opportunities on offer at Bellshill Academy. What a great night!
