S3 pupils from Calderhead High School attended a Fire Reach course with Scottish Fire and Rescue Services where they learned about teamwork, resilience, health and safety and first aid as well as experiencing the role of being a firefighter. They also had great fun!
S1 pupils had a great time orienteering at Lanark Loch.
The S3 Achieve Group were awarded an achievement certificate at St Ambrose High School for their excellent Arts & Employability project on special effects makeup.

Congratulations to Scott and Jamie who recently won trophies at the Law&DistrictAAC race at Carluke. Well done boys!
S4 pupils enjoyed a visit for the Army on Thursday, 12th May and learned about team building. Here we can see them being put through their paces:
On Friday 1st April the Princes Trust XL4 group at Calderhead High organised a charity football match between the staff and seniors boys versus S3/S4 boys in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness and Monklands Intensive Care Unit. The final score was 7-3 with the Teachers/Seniors being the winners.
Before the event the XL4 Group sold breast cancer awareness badges and negotiated donations of water from Shotts Co-Op and a Banner from Mr Strang. Each of the group member had tasks to complete including one of them dressing up as a Lion – the new school mascot!
On the day we had a non-uniform day with stalls selling crisps, cakes and hot dogs. Mrs Buchanan also donated an excellent cake for raffle. It was a fantastic event with the group raising £700!
The XL4 group would like to thank all who participated, donated and helped out on the day.
Good luck to our Senior pupils who are sitting SQA exams, which start today. Don’t forget to check out the Study Skills links page.
We also said goodbye to our S6 students and wish them all the best in the future!
