P7 Transition and Open Night 2017

We have been delighted to welcome Primary 7 pupils to the school  over the last few weeks as part of our initial transition process. Pupils have participated in classes in Art, English, Maths, Music, Modern Languages, PE and Science and learned more about Pupil Support at Calderhead High School. Senior pupils (and MVP Mentors) Jay Casserly, Caitlin Smith and Callum Mathieson talked about the Mentors in Violence Prevention scheme in school and how we promote positive relationships at Calderhead. Pupils  also got a chance to visit the school Library.
Many of the pupils come from our four feeder primaries and we have been impressed by their excellent behaviour and eagerness to become part of the Calderhead High School community.

Open Evening

Parents, carers and families also had an opportunity to visit the school on the evening of Tuesday, 21 November and were able to tour the classrooms, gyms, social areas and library and speak to staff. Thank you to our senior pupils who acted as guides.
