Chryston HS part of the Smart Choice: German network

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.

Ben Nevis Challenge 2016

20160618_151208Our first ever school organised Ben Nevis Challenge took place on Saturday 18th June, 2016 where 37 pupils and 8 members of staff were accompanied by 4 mountain leaders in a sponsored climb for Macmillan and World Challenge.

It was a very warm and sunny day and the views from the summit were spectacular! Everyone did really well on the day, and everyone achieved something very special.  Three out of the four groups managed to reach the summit, and everyone had an enjoyable day.

So far we have raised just over £1800 for Macmillan and £580 for our World Challenge expedition to Southern Tanzania. This is an amazing amount of money and everyone should be so proud of themselves.

Ben Nevis Challenge – Final Details

Pupils have now been issued with all of the information that they need to safely climb Ben Nevis.

Key Information

  • The bus will be leaving the school at 5.30am sharp. Pupils are asked to be in the school car park no later than 5.15am.
  • We should return to the school car park between 10.00pm and 11.00pm.  Pupils will be asked to contact you when we are close to home to let you know a more accurate time.  Could you please collect or arrange for someone to collect your son/daughter when we arrive back at the school, as they will not be allowed to make their own way home at such a late hour.
