As part of our Developing the Young Workforce strategy we hosted a Mock Interview morning for senior pupils on Tuesday 28 November.
Over 45 of our business partners carried out interviews and provided valuable feedback to our young people on interview preparation and technique. Our business partners were extremely impressed by our fabulous young people!
Starting off our Advent Fundraising, staff and (former pupils) played S6 pupils in a Football Match on Thursday 30 November. Hot chocolate and cake was also sold at the football game.
Almost £750 was raised at this event which is a fantastic total. The S6 pupils had a 3-0 win over the teachers! Many thanks to everyone involved. A great start to our Advent Fundraising!
Congratulations to Jodie Beattie, Amy Devlin, Olivia Graham, Emily Johnstone, Chloe Paterson and Lisa Sherry – our six S3 girls who completed their Fire Reach training last week at Coatbridge Fire Station.
Over the week the girls learned all about fire safety in the community and team building skills for the work place. They trained with girls from Greenfaulds High School and together they exhibited all their new skills and abilities at a display at the fire station. The display included rescuing people from a road traffic incident, and also saving a family from a burning building. The girls put on a very well drilled and impressive display!
Anna Bowyer S6 attended an inspiring workshop where pupils were able to look at successful portfolios produced by S6 students from across Scotland who managed to secure a place at Art School this year.
There was a separate workshop on animation and how to gain entry into the first year of an Honours Degree Course whether your interest is in Graphic Design, Fine Art Printmaking, Drawing & Painting and Sculpture.
Jessica Cox S2 and her Football team Glasgow Girls came runners up in the U14s Girls Scottish Cup Final.
Jessica and her team narrowly missed out on the cup to winners Motherwell F.C. in an extremely close game of 3-2. This is a fantastic achievement for Jessica and she continues to inspire girls in her year group to get involved in football.
The consultation to change school transport arrangements in North Lanarkshire is now open and will run until Tuesday 9 January 2018. The consultation focuses on proposals to increase the qualification for entitlement to free school transport for secondary school pupils from more than two miles from their home to their catchment school to more than three miles.
There will be a public meeting on Tuesday 28 November 7pm to 9pm in Greenfaulds High School, Cumbernauld.
This event contributes to the Scottish Government initiative ‘Developing the Young Workforce’ and enables our S3 pupils to talk to a range of representatives from the world of work about the activities, skills, qualities and knowledge required in a variety of workplaces. In addition, any applications of Numeracy skills can be discussed too.
Can you help? This is a great opportunity to inspire and motivate our young people as they begin to make important decisions about their future. The event is a speed networking event, involving conversations with groups of around 5 pupils..
If you would like to be involved or for more information, please get in touch with Mrs Hood or Mrs Dunbar.
Aimee Bryceland S2 has made it through to the ‘Open Mic’ semi finals which will be held in Stockport at the end of the month.
Aimee’s latest audition was in front of a judging panel as well as a live audience. Although, over 30 people took part in the same round, Aimee was one of only 10 to make it through to the next stage. What a fabulous achievement!
Aimee sang ‘Part of Your World’ from The Little Mermaid and we wish her well in the semi finals!
S1 Geography classes recently enjoyed a visit from Zoolab to supplement their work on the Amazon Rainforest. Tristan, from Zoolab, brought in lots of reptiles for the pupils to see including a tarantula, snake and millipede!
The pupils have been learning all about animals in the Amazon Rainforest and everyone really enjoyed seeing them in real life!
