Obviously we are very proud of all our pupils at Calderhead High School and were delighted to honour some of them at the annual awards ceremony on 21 June.
The ceremony was held at Calderhead Erskine Parish Church in Shotts and pupils, staff and proud family and friends attended. The guest speaker was Dr Fiona Menzies, a former pupil, who gave an inspirational speech and made us laugh as she recalled her first day at Calderhead High School. Dr Menzies lectures at the University of the West of Scotland and her teaching interests include host-pathogen interactions, immunology, physiology, and reproductive biology.
Our talented pupils also provided some excellent entertainment satrting with a spirited rendition of ‘Scotland the Brave’ by CHS Pipes & Drums. Our vocal group sang “Try Everything”, Steven McLaren and Shana Murray performed ‘Ashokan Farewell’ accompanied by Mrs Prucnal, the CHS Samba Band treated us to ‘Aquarela do Brasil’, Paige Bryce sang ‘A Thousand Years’ , and ‘These Foolish Things’ was performed by Shana Murray, our talented flautist. A special mention must go to S3 pupils, Jordan Muir and Andrew Hayburn, who provided excellent technical support and are worth successors to Andrew Lynch, our former School Captain and guru of all things technical!
