Football trip to Etihad Stadium
Six members of staff and over forty pupils travelled to the Etihad Stadium on 31st August to watch Manchester City play Brighton. The pupils had a great time playing in the fan zone in the stadium before they watched the game. A special thank you to all the staff who accompanied the pupil, especially Mr Mackie who organised the trip.
Charity Day at Calderhead
Pupils and staff were very charitable on Thursday, 20th September, when everyone paid to wear their own clothes instead of uniform all day.
Staff were treated to a MacMillan Cancer Support coffee-morning at interval, with some excellent cakes and other baking. Special thanks must go to the Shotts Co-op and Bells Food Group for their donations.
This was followed by a charity football match in the afternoon where pupils and staff watched S4/5 pupils play a senior pupil/staff team. The all pupil team won with an impressive 4-2 score. The match was ticketed and raised an impressive £400 for the charity, Chris’s House. Pupils have also set up a just-giving page for donations to this charity.

Charity Football Match
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.
