Bridgend Boy’s Club competed in their first ever Summer Cup Final on 21 June 2015 and achieved a 1-0 victory. The team included 5 boys from Glenmanor (Graeme Horn, Cameron Campbell, Cameron McLellan, Jack Fagan and Jonathon Kelly) and 2 boys from St Michael’s. What a great achievement for Glenmanor, St Michael’s and Moodiesburn!
To help celebrate a very successful year pupils, staff, parents and members of the community came together to recognise our achievements and say goodbye and good luck to P7 and Mrs McLeod. We were entertained by both our junior and senior choirs. “Midnight Sketch” who are a band from Chryston High performed two songs.

Mrs Karen Wallace and Mrs Jackie Holmes from our Parent Council presented every P7 with a tie for high school, an autograph book, pen and a photograph from their P7 party. Thank you to the Parent Council for their continued hard work and dedication to raising money and supporting our school.
