It has been another very successful year for our athletes participating in the annual secondary school Athletics Championships at Wishaw Sports Centre. Our very talented performers won many medals over the two days of the championships, allowing Chryston High to finish 4th on the medal table and only 1 point away from 2nd place. This is an incredible achievement for our school and we are extremely proud of all our pupils who represented Chryston High. Well done everyone!
This Thursday 25th of May will see all of our S1 pupils head to Coatbridge Outdoor Sports Centre to participate in our annual Athletics Competition. This is a team event which highlights the World Athletics Championships taking place in London this year by assigning each pupil to a team in one of the top 8 performing athletics nations.

Competition Report by Dillon Coulson
Chryston High School Sports Ambassador for Swimming
“On the 2nd of November I attended the NL Swimming Championships with Mrs Walker and our swimmers. This was a real motivation for me, I felt like I was fighting for every gold as I watched each and every swimmer. It made me feel like I wanted to stick my shorts on and dive in, but unfortunately not. Our Chryston swimmers were high achievers at the competition.
Overall it was a huge success for the school earning 17 golds and 2 silvers!”
On a cool autumn morning on Friday the 30th of September, 160 first years pupils, 30 staff and helpers descended on Drumpelier Country Park to participate in our PE, Home Economics and Geography inter-disciplinary event; Picnic in the Park.
This event was the culmination of weeks of learning across the different departments in the school. In PE, the pupils spent time developing their fitness and learning the skills required to successfully complete the Orienteering competition course. In Home Economics, pupils learned about sports nutrition, preparing Flapjacks to eat before the event to provide energy, and soup and a roll to refuel after the event. Our young people brushed up on their map reading skills in Geography so that they could successfully negotiate the entire grounds of the park.
Despite a couple of heavy showers, a good morning of outdoor learning was enjoyed by everyone with all S1 pupils gaining either their Gold, Silver or Bronze National Navigation Award.
Special congratulations to all of our medal winning pairs for completing their respective courses in the fastest time!
