Calderhead Talent Show

Talent Show 2019 winnersOur annual Talent Show took place in the school last night (16th December) with some fabulous acts.

We were really impressed by all the pupils who participated, including Douglas Pinkerton (S4) and Ryley Allan (S2) on the bagpipes, MacKenzie Forrest (S5) who played the drums,  Jennifer Wood (S6) and Logyne McAllister (S2) who sang beautifully, Caitlyn Paxton (S5) who sang and played her guitar, and Heather Duncanson (S6) who sang and played piano. However, the joint winners of the Talent Show were Carly Ogilvie (S6) who sang a moving rendition of “When We Were Young” , and the talented gymnastic team of Hannah Duncanson and Zuzanna Mostek (S3).

Special mention must go to the senior pupils who organised, facilitated and judged the talent show.

Children In Need Talent Show 2018

Staff and pupils at Calderhead High School were treated to an impressive array of talent at the school’s charity talent show on Friday, 16 November 2018.

The event was held to raise funds for Children In Need, a non-profitable charity which aims to support all children who are less well off whether it be through illness or poverty.

Our School Captains, Erin and David, were marvellous MCs and guided us through the myriad acts who participated in the talent show. We were all very impressed by the wonderful performers, who made us laugh and cry (and wince when we watched the leg waxing video). Special mention must go to S6 pupil, Fraser, whose sponsored headshave took place live on stage!

We have many fabulous singers at Calderhead and we really enjoyed hearing Madison, Morgan, Logyne, Yasmin, and a Turkish song from Stephen!  Sophie and Carly sang a duet and birthday girl Heather accompanied herself on the piano. Ellyn also played the piano for us.

We were very impressed with Kevin and Andrew’s magic show and Riley, Nathan and Douglas’ “duelling”  bagpipes and drums – we did try to clap along but couldn’t keep up!

Zuzanna and Heather treated us to a very limber gymnastic display and made us laugh with their choice of Muppets music.

The show closed with a spirited interpretation of “Baby Shark” by our staff dance troup.

Well done to everyone who took part and congratulation to all our wonderful performers.

You will also have an opportunity to see some of our talented pupils at “Calderhead’s Got Talent” on Monday 17th December at 7pm  in the Assembly Hall. Tickets cost £2 with funds going to the Beatson Cancer Charity. Please come along and support our very talented pupils.

Talent Raises Funds for Charity

Beatson Charity chequeCalderhead pupils showed off their talent  at the Talent Show in December, and we were extremely impressed by the breadth and variety of talent demonstrated by our pupils. This included 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, Heather Duncanson, S4, who performed to great acclaim.

Our School Captains, Jay and Nicole, and Heather were delighted to be able to present the money raised from this event to the Beatson Cancer Charity.
