Calderhead pupils showed off their talent at the Talent Show in December, and we were extremely impressed by the breadth and variety of talent demonstrated by our pupils. This included the prefect choir (who sang a moving rendition of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”), the brave seniors who braved their own “Bush Tucker Challenge” and many more fantastic acts. The eventual winner was the talented pianist, Heather Duncanson, S4, who performed to great acclaim.
Our School Captains, Jay and Nicole, and Heather were delighted to be able to present the money raised from this event to the Beatson Cancer Charity.
