We have been delighted to welcome Primary 7 pupils to the school over the last few weeks as part of our initial transition process. Pupils have participated in classes in Art, English, Maths, Music, Modern Languages, PE and Science and learned more about Pupil Support at Calderhead High School. Senior pupils (and MVP Mentors) Jay Casserly, Caitlin Smith and Callum Mathieson talked about the Mentors in Violence Prevention scheme in school and how we promote positive relationships at Calderhead. Pupils also got a chance to visit the school Library.
Many of the pupils come from our four feeder primaries and we have been impressed by their excellent behaviour and eagerness to become part of the Calderhead High School community.
Open Evening
Parents, carers and families also had an opportunity to visit the school on the evening of Tuesday, 21 November and were able to tour the classrooms, gyms, social areas and library and speak to staff. Thank you to our senior pupils who acted as guides.
Mr Robertson, Head teacher, was delighted to participate in an Education Forum organised for the Outward Bound Trust at Buckingham Palace during the October break. He was one of 200 people invited by Prince Andrew, Chairman of The Outward Bound Trust, to take part in the event on 16th October.
S4 pupils Brianna, Demi, Heather, Stephanie, recently joined pupils from St Aidan’s High School to take part in a Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award Expedition from Auchengillan Centre. The Duke of Edinburgh Award has three levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold) and is the world’s leading youth achievement award challenging young people to undertake volunteering, physical activities, life skills and expeditions. The pupils have been working hard to earn their Bronze Award – well done, girls.
