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.

This is an incredible achievement for our school and we are extremely proud of all our pupils who represented Chryston High. Well done everyone!
