Wider Achievements:

We are very proud of our pupils at Calderhead and we would like to feature the wider achievements outside of school of one or two pupils each month.

Myren is a highly dedicated and accomplished individual whose achievements span across sport, music, volunteering, and personal development.

A committed athlete, Myren swims competitively for the Fauldhouse Penguins as part of their national squad. She has earned medals at both regional and national levels, including standout performances at the Scottish Schools Swim Championships and the 2024 North Lanarkshire Schools Swim Championships, where she secured 1st place in the 200m Butterfly and 2nd in the 100m Butterfly. In addition to pool swimming, Myren also competes in open water swimming events at a high level.

Beyond her own training and competition, Myren gives back to her community by volunteering weekly with the Learn to Swim programme at her club, helping young children develop essential swimming skills.

Myren’s talents extend into the arts, having played the piano for over a decade. She enjoys playing and singing for fun, showcasing her creativity and love for music.

Her commitment to service is further demonstrated through her volunteer work with NHS Lanarkshire, where she supports the Care of the Elderly unit at Wishaw General Hospital. This role highlights her compassion and dedication to helping others.

Myren also participates annually in the St Andrew’s Hospice 6K, a charity event close to her heart following the loss of her grandfather to cancer. She has proudly placed in the event each year and took on the Ben Nevis Challenge in his memory, combining physical endurance with personal tribute.

Myren exemplifies the spirit of wider achievement through her excellence in sport, dedication to volunteering, artistic expression, and meaningful community involvement.
