Children in Need 2020

Rounders 2020UPDATE: Well done to Calderhead High School’s  Captains and Prefects team who raised £671.01 for Children in Need!

They organised a dress down day and Rounders Festival for BBC Children in Need on Friday, 13th November. Staff and pupils  braved the inclement Shotts weather to play spirited games of rounders in their year groups and a great time was had by all. Well done to everyone who organised and participated in the fundraising activities.

Children in Need 2020

Our Children in Need fundraising will be different this year. As the current restrictions do not allow us to have assemblies, we cannot do our usual talent show. However, Calderhead High School’s  Captain and Prefect Team  have arranged an outdoor Rounders Festival  on Friday, 13th November 2020. Pupils will be asked to pay £1 to participate.

This will also be a ‘Come as Yourself’ dress down day for all pupils and staff, who will be asked to donate £1 if possible.

They have also set up a ‘Just Giving’ page and  would appreciate it if you would help them raise as much money as possible to support Children in Need.

Children in Need 2019

Calderhead High School held a talent show in the Assembly Hall on Thursday, 14th November to raise funds for Children in Need. Our School Captains, Kirsty and Brianna, hosted the event and were ‘puntastic’ – they definitely have a career as a comedy double-act!

What a wide breadth of talent we have here at Calderhead: Heather, Logyne, Carly, Lauren, Andrew, and Jennifer all sang beautifully; Ellyn and Heather played the piano magnificently; Caitlyn and Nicholas perfomed moving songs accompanied by some excellent guitar playing, and we also enjoyed hearing Caitlyn and Ryley on pipes and drum.

Special mention must also go to our brave pupils and staff who endured getting their legs waxed to help raise funds.

Children In Need Talent Show 2018

Staff and pupils at Calderhead High School were treated to an impressive array of talent at the school’s charity talent show on Friday, 16 November 2018.

The event was held to raise funds for Children In Need, a non-profitable charity which aims to support all children who are less well off whether it be through illness or poverty.

Our School Captains, Erin and David, were marvellous MCs and guided us through the myriad acts who participated in the talent show. We were all very impressed by the wonderful performers, who made us laugh and cry (and wince when we watched the leg waxing video). Special mention must go to S6 pupil, Fraser, whose sponsored headshave took place live on stage!

We have many fabulous singers at Calderhead and we really enjoyed hearing Madison, Morgan, Logyne, Yasmin, and a Turkish song from Stephen!  Sophie and Carly sang a duet and birthday girl Heather accompanied herself on the piano. Ellyn also played the piano for us.

We were very impressed with Kevin and Andrew’s magic show and Riley, Nathan and Douglas’ “duelling”  bagpipes and drums – we did try to clap along but couldn’t keep up!

Zuzanna and Heather treated us to a very limber gymnastic display and made us laugh with their choice of Muppets music.

The show closed with a spirited interpretation of “Baby Shark” by our staff dance troup.

Well done to everyone who took part and congratulation to all our wonderful performers.

You will also have an opportunity to see some of our talented pupils at “Calderhead’s Got Talent” on Monday 17th December at 7pm  in the Assembly Hall. Tickets cost £2 with funds going to the Beatson Cancer Charity. Please come along and support our very talented pupils.

Children In Need – Part 1

There have been lots of fun events already taking place in school to help raise funds for Children in Need.

Senior boys bravely agreed to get their legs waxed for Children in Need after school in the Hair and Beauty suite.

Senior pupils sold raffle tickets and persuaded pupils and staff to ‘Guess the Bear’s Birthday’.

There will be a non-uniform day tomorrow and we’re all looking forward to seeing our talented staff and pupils taking part in the school show tomorrow afternoon.
