Congratulations to Natasha Riddel and Olivia Anderson, on completing the Challenge Enterprise weekend, organised by the Rotary Club. The girls really enjoyed the experience and made a number of contacts. Sincere thanks to the Rotary Club of Kilsyth for sponsoring them.
Representatives from the Teenage Cancer Trust came into school last week, to speak to pupils in S2 about the work they do. This was a very informative session and the pupils were extremely attentive.
The first round of Pupil Council meetings have now taken place, with each year group meeting being chaired by a member of the Captaincy team. The outcomes of the various discussions will now be discussed with the Senior Management Team.
Friday was a non-uniform day and pupils raised £889 towards their charities, which have still to be confirmed by the Pupil Council. This is an excellent start to our annual fundraising efforts. Well done!
The S4 Achieve group, together with members of the S6 Leadership class and some members of staff, organised a Macmillan Coffee Morning, for staff, and raised £537. This included a raffle, organised by Elli Gregg and her team. Thanks to everyone who supported this worthy charity and congratulations to all those involved in the organisation.
Our first round of inter-House events took place last week. In the inter-House Rugby, Colzium won, Balmalloch and Dumbreck were in joint second place and Antonine were fourth. Colzium also won the inter-House Netball and the other three Houses tied in second place. Well done to Colzium and congratulations to Austin Muya, who was Player of the Tournament, in Rugby.
A number of pupils have taken part in the ‘Slosh Across North Lanarkshire’ initiative, to raise awareness of the 2017 Transplant Games, that will be coming to North Lanarkshire. Thanks to all those who participated and congratulations to Amy Jarvie, who organised it.
School re-opens on Monday 24th October, at 8.55 p.m.
