North Lanarkshire Council will shortly be implementing the Groupcall  messaging system in all schools.
A letter has been issued to pupils and it is essential that we have the information requested. We  would also recommend that parents and carers install the Xpressions App, which can be installed in Apple/Android and Windows devices.

Calderhead High School is  hosting a Careers Event at school on 25th January . This event will include workshops and talks by former pupils and friends of the school and there will also be over twenty different stalls in the Assembly Hall with information about a wide range of careers.
At Calderhead, we are keen to encourage pupils to plan for their future and explore all opportunities and career paths, including higher education, further education, employment, apprenticeships, training or volunteering. We offer work experience placements, employer visits, visits to training providers, University and College campus visits, application form support, and community projects – including charity work. For more information, please see our post-school options pages.

Calderhead High School enjoyed having our visitors from St Patrick’s Primary School. Before the younger children returned to St Patrick’s,  pupils from the S3 Personal Development classes had a great time helping out the younger pupils at the Primary School Christmas lunch.
We’re ending this year with a birl and getting a chance to practice our social dancing! P7 and S1s had a great time at their Ceilidh on Wednesday afternoon followed by the whole school ceilidh on Thursday.
Every year the school hold its prestigious Christmas Door competition with departments vying to create the best door.
Congratulations to the Support for Learning base who won this year’s competition with their Santa themed door. Special mention must also go to the Art Department for their impressive Polar Express corridor.
Check out some of the entrants in our Image Gallery.
