Hallowe’en Ghost Walk
Hallowe’en will descended on Kilsyth Academy this week when our S1 pupils took part in our Hallowe’en party and ghost walk. This event was organised and run by senior pupils and was the basis of a leadership project for one senior pupil studying the SQA award in Leadership. This was a very successful and enjoyable event that was well supported and our thanks are extended to all staff and senior pupils who contributed in making our annual scarefest a night to remember for our S1 pupils.
P7 Science day
Yesterday, primary 7 pupils from across our cluster took part in our annual primary science event, enjoying a very full morning of Science at Kilsyth Academy, delivered by our senior pupils. The senior pupils were mentored by Science staff, on the experiments that the primary pupils would be carrying out, over a period of time. Pupils completed a record book of the experiments they carried out, with seniors helping them to complete the questions. The day was very successful and enjoyed by all involved. A big thank you to everyone involved.
Pupil Leadership
Following on from our successful Ghost Walk, a further series of event will take place over the school session organised by our senior leadership class. Pupils, as part of their course, must undertake a project that develops and demonstrates their skills as young leaders. This very demanding course helps pupils develop a range of skills that will serve them well when they leave school. Upcoming events will include our Remembrance Activities, Children in Need, the Crazy Day show and our annual Burns Supper. Other projects include leading our new school newsletter, KA Connections and a specific newsletter for S6 Pupils.

Our congratulations go out to David Veitch an S5 pupils who recently represented the school in the Dullatur Cup competition for North Lanarkshire schools. David is the proud winner of the S5 individual competition.
