Schools from all over North Lanarkshire participated in the 1+ 2 Modern Languages Awards at Airdrie Stadium on 21 May 2019. Congratulations to our pupils who were awarded certificates: Mark, Brodie and Emma, who were awarded the Outstanding Language Learner prize for their respective year groups, and Jack, who was awarded Most Improved Language Learner.
The Modern Languages Department also celebrated success and presented certificates to the Modern Languages Champions in school. Well done everyone!
On Thursday, 16th May, our S1 pupils participated in the Tinto Hill Challenge. This Challenge is open to S1 pupils in Lanarkshire schools and is a great day out for pupils and staff who can fundraise for St Andrew’s Hospice while enjoying the great outdoors and participating in some fresh air, fun, exercise, team work and achievement. Our staff and pupils were lucky to climb Tinto Hill in glorious sunshine and had a fantastic time completing the Challenge.
More than 3000 pupils are expected to take on the Challenge this year and it is an excellent way to raise money for the Hospice.
Well done to everyone who took part.
