The topic this week was who the house believes is the best Christmas character. Miss Libby Hamill of 1P2 won with her convincing arguments on why The Grinch is the best Christmas character. Well done, Libby! See you all in the new year!

Annual S1 Panto Trip
Our traditional S1 panto outing to a non-traditional panto took place on Tuesday 18th December. Once again, Mrs Robertson managed the incredible feat of getting 90 S1 pupils safely to Glasgow (and back again, of course!) Mrs Robertson and Mrs Chalmers were most impressed with the impeccable behaviour and the response from the pupils. The Tron Theatre always push boundaries with their modern interpretation of traditional pantos and reflect issues in the world today. It is always so heartening to see our young people so open-minded to and supportive of difference – never lose this!
S3 Writer-in-Residence Waterstones Visit
The CHS Writer-in-Residence group enjoyed a visit to Waterstones Book Shop, Sauchiehall St where they were introduced to new books and had the chance to select a book of their own. Martin Stewart, our writer-in-residence, brought his wife and daughter along to meet the team and they all had a great time checking out books together. A big CHS Merry Christmas to Martin Stewart and his family. Looking forward to more fantastic work with our young writers in 2019!

Pitch Perfect Public Speaking Club
“This house believes that dinosaurs should be brought back to life.”
Our wonderful public speaking club members met on Thursday to debate this Jurassic World-inspired topic. Powerful arguments from both sides! Holyrood and Westminster should look out!
The club meets every Thursday in room 1F005 – Mr Reid’s History room. All welcome!
