PI Day

Pi Day
Pi Day S1

Pi Day is celebrated on 14th March around the world and Calderhead High School enjoyed some fun ‘pi’ activities.

Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent  the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. The BBC produced a great guide to pi (t.co/wvwpvzl4vP).

Christmas Fayre

Calderhead High School S5 and S6 pupils organised a Christmas Fayre, which took place in the school on Saturday, 21st November 2015. The event was a great success – there was a café and stalls including Santa’s grotto, tombola, home baking, candles, soaps and many more.

This was done as part of their Personal Development classes  and the Fayre raised a fantastic £1,171! Well done to all the pupils and staff who made it such a success. Thank you also to everyone who came along to the Fayre and supported the event.
