The Fitness Suite
In Chryston High School, we have a wonderful fitness suit. The Girls’ Fitness Club is on Friday after school from 02.55 to 03.55. The other fitness clubs are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at lunchtime. The times are great if you are normally at home and not active. If you are in school it’s great to do something active at lunchtime since it can get a little boring waiting for your next class. I think if you have the time you should definitely go since it could be a wonderful experience for you and your friends. You can improve your fitness and meet some new friends. The people who run the fitness club are the seniors who are very helpful and nice. Go and have fun.

School Dinners
Pupils at Chryston High School really enjoy the school meals. The kitchen is very clean and organized and the staff there are so helpful and happy. All of the 7 staff love working in Chryston High. All the food is made freshly every morning and you have lots of choices to pick from. The lunch time is 12:30 till 13:15. The food they make comes from Blakes grocery. The kitchen is well cleaned every morning before they start cooking or baking. All the meats they use are fresh not frozen. They are always looking for new recipes or ideas for the kitchen.

Old Blazers Wanted
Old blazers wanted.
If you have any old blazers at home that are no longer required then the school would really appreciate if they could be donated back to us. We like to have a stockpile of blazers that can be used for temporary measures and our levels are now critically low.
Don’t worry if they are damaged in any way as we are happy to attempt to repair them if possible.
Many thanks for your continued support.
