France and Belgium Battlefields Trip 2016

 

 

39 Pupils and 5 staff recently took part in a trip to the Battlefields of WW1 in France and Belgium.

The group visited various battle sites and memorials across France and Belgium embracing and recreating the history. The group even spent a day as WW1 platoon dressing, eating and exercising as they would have during the Great War.

The pupils also enjoyed a day of sight seeing in Paris and a day of Fun in Disneyland.

The pupil’s behaviour, enthusiasm and mature attitude were a credit to St Andrews H.S.

Well Done to all involved.

11 pupils from S1 – S5 took part in the Modern Studies International Conference along with 20 other Secondary Schools in North Lanarkshire at the GLO Centre in Motherwell.

St Andrews H.S took on the role of Greece and debated key world issues with other nations.

Ciaran McMurray opened the conference with a speech on the need for the refugee crisis to be a global issue tackled by all countries collectively.

Excellent day had by all with all pupils getting actively involved in the debates.

 

Well Done Team Greece.
