screen-shot-2016-09-19-at-15-34-50

Chryston High School has now been named as the first Scottish school on the Goethe Institut’s Smart Choice: German network.

The network recognises the school’s commitment to German as a foreign language and the support that the school offers to our feeder primary schools.

Part of the project involves setting up a digital network which will allow us to strengthen our partnership with our feeder primary schools while promoting the benefits of learning German.

A number of events will also be organised to support primary-secondary transition to give pupils a flavour of what to expect when they come to Chryston High School.  By working more closely with out primary partners, we can help pupils build on their skills and knowledge from primary and ensure that they are ready to continue their language-learning journey into the secondary and beyond

There will be an official launch in January.  For more details, contact Mr Kirk.
