At the start of this very busy term, pupils in S4, S5 and S6 are getting ready to sit their prelim examinations, in preparation for the final SQA exams in May. Our prelim diet will run from Monday 16th until Friday 27th January and all pupils are expected to be in class, when they do not have an examination. Lots of advice about revision is available from class teachers and supported study has been running across many subjects.
A group of talented pupils will represent the school as finalists in this year’s ‘Battle of the Bands’ event, to be held at Motherwell Concert Hall, on the evening of Thursday 5th February. Best of luck to the band who are called ‘Born and Raised’, and the members are Ross Quinn (guitar & vocals), Rachel Griffin (keyboard & vocals), Archie Grant (keyboard), Courtney Campbell (drum kit) & Cameron Comrie (bass).
Tickets, priced £5.00 are available from members of the band or from Mr Russell.
Congratulations to Holly McArthur, S6, who took gold with a score of 3804 points in the England Athletics U20 Pentathlon at the weekend. A winning score exceeding 3700 points should give automatic GB selection to an International Combined Events Match in Prague later this month. This is another superb achievement and we are extremely proud of Holly
We are please to welcome our new Classroom Assistant, CarolAnn McMahon. We hope she enjoys her time at Kilsyth Academy.
