42 S5 pupils spent the weekend at New Lanark Youth Hostel where they participated in subject tutorials for English, Mathematics, History, Modern Studies, Geography, Biology, Chemistry and Spanish in preparation for their SQA Higher exams. The pupils all agreed it was a fabulous opportunity for revision. Thanks to the staff who gave up their time and made the weekend possible.
On Friday 21st of February, all S2 pupils participated in a Subject Champions Event. This involved all pupils finding out information about each curricular area to help them when making their options choices. S6 Pupils brilliantly represented each department, preparing displays and practical activities showcasing the course content, employability skills and future career paths linked to each subject. They were able to answer the questions of our S2 pupils and provided them with a fantastic taster of each subject and what to expect if they choose it in S3. Our S6 pupils also met with parents at the S2 Information Evening and gave a fantastic account of what to expect from each subject. S6 pupils worked very hard in their personal development time to prepare for the event and their hard work and preparation ensured the smooth running of the day. S2 pupils will continue to explore each curricular area and share the knowledge they gained from our Subject Champion Day in Health and Wellbeing to ensure that they are making very well informed course choices! This is the final event which Subject Champipons are involved in, having already participated in Career Training, the P7 informaiton Evening and even delivering career lessons to our S4 classes. Well done to our S6 Subject Champions for all of their hard work!
All S1 pupils travelled to Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh to particpate in a space themed STEM Careers showcase. The day gave pupils an insight into some of the amazing (and potentially surprising!) careers accessible to them in this incredibly exciting field. Pupils engaged with a wide mix of organisations from industry, academia and public services. They provided hands-on experiences, information and advice on careers within the space sector in Scotland. Our trip was completed in the 360 degree show dome cinema watching a film on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings.
The S1 Girls Health and Wellbeing Group took place on a Tuesday after school for 6 weeks. The Sports Coordinator, the HSPO and our S6 pupils all worked with the S1 pupils throughout the programme. The girls enjoyed activities such as beauty, healthy eating and active alternatives. The feedback from our S1 and S6 pupils were all positive.
Congratulations to our S2 girls Orlaith Boyle, Erin Elliott, Rebecca McGinlay and Jessica Tomlinson who were awarded 2nd place and Ellie Morrison, Toni Ronald, Nuala Rooney (S2) and Demi James (S1) who were awarded 3rd place at the NLC Gymnastics competition recently. Well done to all the girls who took part.
14 S1 and 14 S2 pupils were selected to represent the school in the North Lanarkshire Giant Heptathlon. The event was held at Ravenscraig Sport Centre on Thursday 6th February. The students performed excellently, breaking event records in Long Jump and Shot Putt.
