Kilsyth Academy participated in the North Lanarkshire Athletics Championships at Wishaw, over the last two weeks. The team won nine medals over the course of the two days of competition. This included a very impressive performance from the S3 Boys 4×100 metres relay squad, who picked up the silver medal in a very close finish. In addition to this, two of our pupils, Jamie Stevenson<\/strong> and Rebecca Love<\/strong> from S3, were selected to represent North Lanarkshire in the Scottish Schools\u2019 Inter Area Championships at Grangemouth, later in June.<\/p>\n

Holly won gold in the under-17 women’s pentathlon, with a total of 3713 points, smashing the under-17 women’s record that has stood for 45 years. This is a superb achievement and we are extremely proud of Holly, who is currently training with the Scotland squad, in Portugal.<\/p>\n

The P7 children who will be transferring to Kilsyth Academy, in August, spent two days in the school, following S1 timetables and meeting a number of staff and senior pupils. There was a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm and we look forward to working with the youngsters, in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

A number of our new S5\/6 pupils visited New College Lanarkshire, in Motherwell, and enjoyed a variety of taster sessions for a range of courses that the college offers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
