Christmas Ceilidhs

Ceilidh posterWe will be holding two Christmas Ceilidhs in the school this month:

  • 18th December 2018 – Whole school ceilidh (S1 – S6) (tickets)
  • 19th December 2018 –  P7/S1 transition ceilidh (no tickets required)

Our ceilidhs are always great fun and a wonderful opportunity to practice your social dancing! There will be both traditional and modern music, as well as games with prizes.

There will also be snacks and drinks available. You can change into your own clothes for the ceilidh but we do ask that no high heels or football colours are worn.

Tickets for the whole school ceilidh cost £1 and will be available in the social area at interval and lunch from Monday.

Law and District Amateur Athletic Club

There is a proposal to set up a section of Law and District AAC in Shotts, based in Calderhead High School. There will be a parents/supports meeting in Calderhead High School at 6:30pm on Wednesday 28th September. We ask that if anyone who thinks they can offer support to come along.

Also if you think your child may be interested in taking part then please come along so that we can judge the likely success of this initiative. We think that this is a great opportunity to work with a very successful and nurturing club as part of our expanding sports hub.

Interhouse Quiz

Staff and pupils took part in our first ever InterHouse Quiz on Wednesday afternoon. The quiz was organised and facilitated by our S6 pupils and included a number of general knowledge questions. Bonus points were awarded to the House whose pupils had the most school planners with them.

Everyone participated enthusiastically and congratulations to House Fleming, who won the Interhouse Quiz Cup.

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.
