Central Dance Championships

Greenfaulds High School entered into the Central Dance Championships, hosted by Larbert High School and the Central Dance Championships team. This is the second year of the Competition and the second year Greenfaulds have entered. We have managed to emulate the success of last year with a number of winning performances. We won the Mixed Street Division with a performance including Shannon Stewart, Amy Kane, Abbie Kane, Aimee McCallum and Natasha O’Neill. We won the Mid Contemporary Division with a performance by Amy McPhee, Aimee McCallum, Laura McPhail and Christy Paterson. Abbie and Amy Kane won the Mixed Street Duo division. Shannon Stewart won the Senior Street Division. Aimee McCallum got a silver medal for Mid Street category. Christy Paterson and Laura McPhail got a silver medal for their mid contemporary duo. Laura McPhail got a bronze medal for mid contemporary division.  Well done to all competitiors for displaying such a high level of performance and representing the dance talent within the Central Belt.

Youth Philanthropy Initiative

The S2 students have recently participated in our annual Youth Philanthropy Initiative in which they research and work with small charities. The aim is to help the charity secure an additional £3000 of funding by delivering an innovative and engaging presentation. The S2 students worked very hard on this and established contact with over 40 charities. Many visited the charities to learn more about their work and others volunteered to help the charity. The final was held on the 8th of June and the audience and judges watched excellent presentations that highlighted the important work of a number of local charities. Ultimately, as the saying goes, there can only be one winner and this year it was Strathcarron Hospice. The students who delivered the winning presentation were Chloe Balfour, Elise Clark, Melissa Henderson and Shanley Russell.

Between Monday 19th and Sunday 25th June, in conjunction with our Roads Policing colleagues, Lanarkshire Division will be engaging with the public to educate, enforce and positively influence road user behaviour.

There will be various strands to the campaign which will include:

• educating children and young people walking and cycling on roads
• motorcycle safety
• speeding
• inconsiderate driving behaviours

Our aim is to reduce road incidents.  As such, we wish to engage with as many people as possible.  Working with our community planning partners, we would like to cascade the message and encourage children, young people and adults alike to take responsibility for their own safety and to be mindful of the hazards walking and cycling on the roads present.

You can find out more about what we’re up to on Facebook and Twitter using the hash tag #GoSafeRoadSafe.

With your help, we can reduce the number of children, young people and families affected by road collisions.  A Scotland where no one is seriously hurt or killed on the roads is our ambition.

Our partners at www.roadsafetyscotland.org.uk and www.cyclingscotland.org are excellent sources of information and resource.

Over the week, our local problem solving team officers will be liaising with local schools and delivering appropriate advice to staff, pupils and parents alike.

Lanarkshire Division appreciates the assistance the local authority gives as a partner to keep people safe in North Lanarkshire

There will be 2 evenings where parents/carers can come along to the school and have their child or children measured up for a school blazer. These dates are:

Wednesday 31st of May 6 – 8 pm
Thursday 1st of June 4 – 6 pm

Below is the school uniform policy as written in our school handbook.

Greenfaulds Geography Presents: #30dayswild
Greenfaulds High School is taking part the Wildlife Trusts 30 Days Wild – the UK’s first ever month long nature challenge. The idea behind this challenge is to do something wild in the outdoors each day for the month of June. You can climb a hill, take a photo or plant a wild garden.
As our school breaks up near the end of the month the competition in GHS will run from May 25th to June 23rd. Pupils will be issued with a checklist of 39 tasks and the aim is to complete 30 of these with a photo as evidence before the deadline. If no pupil has completed all tasks by Friday June 23rd, then the pupil with the
most challenges completed will be announced as the winner on Monday June26th.
Pupils should document their adventures with a photo as evidence. Once you have completed 10 tasks visit F044 to have your tasks recorded and then get back outside to complete the rest! Prizes will be awarded to the S1 pupils who come in first, second and third place, now go and #getoutside #30dayswild @GeogGreenfaulds

Just a short note to all parents and carers of S3 pupils. Parents’ Evening takes place on Tuesday the 14th of March from 4.15pm to 6.45pm. We would ask parents not to arrive at the school before 4.00pm due to the volume of traffic as parents and school buses pick up pupils.

Appointment sheets have been issued and we would encourage pupils to spread appointments out so parents have sufficient time to get to each appointment.

Course choice sheets have also been issued to pupils and these must be returned to the office no later that Monday the 20th of March with a note of the 2 subjects being dropped and the required signatures from parents.
