Congratulations to the Support for Learning base who won this year’s competition with their Santa themed door. Special mention must also go to the Art Department for their impressive Polar Express corridor.

Christmas Fayre – 26 November 2016
Senior pupils in the Personal Development class are busy organising the school’s annual Christmas Fayre, which will take place on 26 November 2016 from 1pm to 3pm.
There will be a number of different stalls with something for everyone as well as a coffee shop with delicious cakes and beverages. You can also meet Santa Claus in his Frozen themed grotto. Entertainment will be provided by the excellent Calderhead High School choir, who will be singing Christmas songs.
Shoe Box Appeal
We are still looking for donations for the shoe box appeal and the deadline has been extended to 18th November 2016.
We are looking for toiletries, toys, gloves, hats, scarves and any other suitable items that would be a welcome gift for children and adults. Sweets are also welcome but the expiry dates must be seen and must not expire before 2018. No chocolate, biscuits or cakes please. If you prefer to donate money instead that would also be welcome , as postage for the boxes needs to be paid.
You are also welcome to pack your own shoe box.
All donations are gratefully received.

Christmas Jumper Day
Calderhead High School S5 pupils organised a Christmas jumper day for Friday 18th December to raise money for the charity “Text Santa”. They encouraged staff and pupils from the school to wear a Christmas jumper on the condition that they texted a donation to Santa.
Declan, Dylan, Cameron and Connor were encouraged by Mrs Crawford to promote the event and commented “It’s igniting the Christmas spirit around the school and raises money for charity.”
The money raised will be donated to MacMillan Cancer Support, Make a Wish and Save the Children.
