Congratulations to Matthew Dougan S6 who has successfully gained a 4 week paid internship with Michael Page Recruitment in Glasgow. Former pupil Megan Smyth is a consultant with the company and has been working with the school to provide an exclusive internship for one of our pupils.
Well done to Matthew and to the others who interviewed for the position.
Four girls Alannah Littlejohns, Ellie O’Reilly, Heather Stirling and Ciara McGrath (S4) attended a technology event at JP Morgan in Glasgow. The girls had the opportunity to develop their own app and website whilst enjoying copious amounts of pizza and goodies! They had an amazing day and have already asked to be considered for next year. The focus of the event was to encourage more young women into the fields of technology, software development and engineering.
Unfortunately the girls did not win a prize (first prize was an iPad each!), but they did come second in their category and were a real fan favourite!

The North Lanarkshire Active Schools Team along with the support from Müller, ran the Müller Leadership Academy for Sport. Over the last 7 months pupils from various North Lanarkshire High Schools have been participating in a training programme providing vocational and educational courses through sport and community engagement.
The aim of the programme as well as offering certified qualifications, has been to provide the pupils with leadership, communication and teamwork skills.
The pupils have also had the opportunity to undertake work placements, where they can put what they have learnt into practise, and giving them the confidence to create a positive impact in their local community and for their futures.
Our superstars: Euan McDonald, Mollie Armstrong, Rebecca Johnston, Ellie Rennie, Vanessa Liu and Douglas Rodie.
Our recent Watersports trip to the South of France was a huge success. Pupils took part in an action packed programme of activities including: Kayaking; sailing; paddle boarding; body boarding; abseiling, climbing and many other team building activities. The group quickly adjusted to camp lifestyle and made many amazing memories.
Thank you to everyone that participated in the Parent Buddy Project. The four sessions were fabulous with both parents and young people enjoying the activities and spending time with each other in a positive environment.
A special thanks to the staff who facilitated the sessions.
