Calderhead High School has a long history of supporting good causes. Once again we will be supporting the Blythswood Trust Shoe Box Appeal as part of the RME curriculum.
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 be ‘best before’ March 2020. 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.
All donations are gratefully received.

Pupils and staff were very charitable on Thursday, 20th September, when everyone paid to wear their own clothes instead of uniform all day.
Mr Leitch plans to take basic first aid items such as plasters, bandages, antiseptic wipes and sprays, anti bacterial hand gel and so on for first aid kits which can then be distributed to the Girls Go For Health coordinator.
We were extremely impressed by the breadth and variety of talent demonstrated by our pupils who performed at the ‘Calderhead’s Got Talent’ show which took place on 18th December, including 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, S4 pupil, Heather, who performed her own composition to great acclaim. The money raised from this event and the Christmas Jumper day has been donated to the Beatson Cancer Charity.
Calderhead High School will be holding a talent show on Monday, 18th December 2017 at 7pm to raise funds for the Beatson Cancer Charity. This event has been organised by our senior pupils and many of our talented pupils will be participating. There will be singing, dancing, bagpipes, and much more – it’s an event no to be missed!
Calderhead High School agreed to raise £500 per year to sponsor a home school partnership worker in Thuchila. This home school worker will deliver a “Girls Go For Health” programme in the area. S2 pupil, Amy, is seen here holding the agreement with Thuchila School, Malawi.
This summer Pupil Support and PE Teacher, Mr Russell, will be participating in a five day trek across the highlands of Iceland to raise vital funds for St. Andrew’s Hospice in Lanarkshire. The trek will involve eight and nine hour days climbing through lava fields, river crossings and wading through ice cold streams.
We’re busy getting ready to welcome a very special visitor tomorrow.
