Mrs Scognamiglio’s S3 Home Economics Class took part in a Halloween cake competition on Friday 28th October 2016.
The competition was judged by the Headteacher, Mr Robertson and Miss Wilson, Faculty Head, who decided that Hayleigh’s cake was the ‘most Halloween’. Well done Hayleigh!

(TES, 10 October 2003)
Many parents feel at a loss when their children enter S1 and above and confused by the complicated systems of SQA exams, coursework and practical assessments.
If you feel like this you are not alone! The exam system has changed greatly over the years, and is continuing to change, and sometimes it feels as if it is best just to let the ‘experts’ at Calderhead High School get on with it. However, your involvement during these crucial years can make an enormous difference – the difference between success and failure or between ‘C’ and ‘D’ passes and ‘A’s and ‘B’s.

Lots of spooky activity at Calderhead High School for Hallowe’en. CalderRead Book Group and French Club joined forces in the library on Friday and heard some terrifying ghost stories in French and English. Then on Hallowe’en, the S1s enjoyed a party at the end of the day, organised by staff and senior pupils as part of their personal development class. A spooky time was had by all…
