S1 CLUBS Dance
In Dance Club, we are currently working on a cheer dance that will be displayed at the North Lanarkshire Dance Competition in March. We all enjoy and think dancing is fun. Recently, at a show case in St Ambrose, we displayed our street dance to many North Lanarkshire schools. This event helped us bond as a team and gave us self-confidence. It showed how amazing we all are!! We have made good friends. We work together as a team.
The Dance Club meets every Wednesday from 3pm till 4pm. Our teacher is Miss Ringrose from Biology.

Our captain of the S1 school netball team is Kiera Boyce. She thinks everyone is improving well. This paid off when we played our first 2 games a couple of weeks ago. Netball is a great sport and it is great fun and very enjoyable. It is an opportunity to make new friends and represent the school.
The club meets every Tuesday 4pm until 5pm. Everyone is very friendly. Come along and join us. Mrs Walker from PE, Mrs Harvey from Chemistry and Miss Smith from Business/ICT run the Netball Club
