Pupils at Calderhead High School helped celebrate National Poetry Day on 6th October. Poem postcards from the Scottish Poetry Library were handed out in the library and pupils enjoyed poetry in the Library, including an impromptu performance from Sahand in S2, who read his poem ‘Bang Bang’ – last heard at the National Poetry Slam competition at the Traverse Theatre.

Readathon
Pupils in S1 and S2 are taking part in a Readathon to raise money for new books and equipment for the English Department. The event will run in school the week beginning Monday 10th October and pupils will be encouraged to continue to read at home during the October holiday (Monday 17th to 21st October).
Sponsorship forms have been issued and it is hoped that all our S1 and S2 pupils will take part and be sponsored by friends and family to raise funds. Pupils will also have the opportunity to win fabulous prizes! The Readathon will encourage reading in a fun and relaxed atmosphere and we would ask that you support our pupils.
