We celebrated Burns Night on Wednesday, 25 January 2017. The school held Burns themed assemblies and haggis, neeps and tatties were served at lunchtime. Pupils listened to some Burns songs in the Library.
Mr Reilly treated us to a rendition of ‘To A Mouse’ at interval.
The best-laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) is marked each year on 27 January and we remember the six million Jewish people systematically persecuted and murdered during the Holocaust and those who have faced persecution and death since then.
The theme this year was How Can Life Go On? This theme asks us all think about how people who have experienced the horror of genocide can start to rebuild their lives.
Calderhead High School marked HMD this week with assemblies for all pupils led by S6 pupils, Jamie Shaw and Chloe Jarvis. James and Chloe visited Auschwitz in September 2016.
