The roses, messages and chocolates awaiting delivery.

This Valentine’s Day came early for the staff and pupils of Greenfaulds High school. Four of the school’s Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award group organised the sale of roses, messages and chocolates that were delivered during period 1 on Friday 9^th February to the unsuspecting recipients around the school! The team of S4 pupils (Jack Guild, Tara McGinley, Erika Anderson and Teigan Burns) managed to raise £120 for their efforts that they then chose to donate to Redburn School.

Martin Burns, Depute Head Teacher at Redburn said “We are delighted to receive this latest donation from the pupils of Greenfaulds High School. The recent fundraising efforts of the school have been remarkable and the money will be put to good use to help develop our outdoor learning environment. The development of our recent partnership is providing great benefits to pupils of both schools and we look forward to working together more closely over the coming weeks and months.”

GAELIC ROCK BAND, LÀN CHOMAIS

We are absolutely delighted to say that our Gaelic Rock band, Làn Chomais, will be releasing their debut single on Thursday 7th December. The song is a brand new Gaelic Christmas song called ‘S e Nolloag a th’ ann! (It’s Christmas!) and, as well as the band, it features backing vocals from over 1000 pupils!

All of S1, 2 & 3 here at Greenfaulds were recorded, as were every pupil in Condorrat Primary and in Baird Memorial Primary.  The track is phenomenal and is somewhat of a departure for traditional Gaelic song!

Làn Chomais are;

Emily Robertson – Vocals / Piano

Jessica Muir – Fiddle

Eilidh Miller – Clarsach

Ava MacKonnon – Drums / Flute / Vocals

Craig Yule – Guitar

Jacob Spence also guests with the band on Bass for this track.

‘S e Nollaig a th’ ann! Will be available from Thursday 7th Dec for download from ITunes, Amazon, Google and Spotify. If enough people download the song we may just have a GHS band in the Scottish Christmas Download Charts!!!!
