Our Prefects, Captains and House Captains enjoyed a teambuilding day at Fordell Firs Activity Centre, in Fife. The weather was fantastic and the pupils took part in short teambuilding exercises, followed by climbing and caving. It proved to be a very enjoyable day, which we hope will pay great dividends and we continue through the year.

Kilsyth Academy hosted pupils from Kirkintilloch High School and Cumbernauld Academy, for the Glasgow University workshop on ‘Reach and Access to a Career’. Pupils from all three schools felt that the workshop was of great benefit to them in making plans for leaving school and moving on to university.
