We were delighted to welcome so many parents and children from our six associated Primary schools, to last week’s Information Evening. Despite the dreadful weather, almost 200 people attended and heard about the transition to Kilsyth academy from school staff and senior pupils. Most people also toured the school, visiting all the departments and finding out about the various subjects, from teachers and young people. Congratulations to members of 2D who ran a baking stall, for charities chosen by their class, and raised over £90.
History and Modern Studies pupils took part in a trip to the cinema, to see the film ‘Suffragette’. The young people greatly enjoyed the experience, which contextualised some of the work they are doing in class. Higher English and Higher Drama pupils attended a production of ‘The Crucible’ at East Kilbride Arts Centre. Again, this will be of great assistance to their studies in class.
Ben Cullen, Martin Murphy, Vicky Irvine and Emma Carrigan, all members of the S3 Achieve group, attended the Balmalloch Primary Tennis Coaching event, led by Judy Murray. The pupils have been helping at a number of sports events in our local primaries and were very pleased to be given this extra opportunity.
