North Lanarkshire Athletics Championships

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!

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.
