We have recently created a display board with the department which is aimed at recognising the wonderful achievements of our pupils outside of school in various sports. We have already found Scottish, British and World Champions in our midst. They have kindly allowed us to picture them with their medals to be displayed for others to see and realise just how good some of our pupils do in the sporting community.

We are in no doubt that their are more hidden superstars within our ranks and we would encourage any pupil who competes at National and International level to come forward and let us share and recognise their achievements with the rest of the school community.

Johnstone HS sent a strong contigent of pupils for various sports to compete at the annual Secondary Games at the ON-X in Linwood. These pupils had reached the event through qualification tournaments previously in the year. We had teams entered for the boys Rugby, Girls Football, mixed Basketball and Badminton.

The pupils competed with great commitment and their sportsmanship and conduct on and off the court/pitch was exemplary. Below is a list of some of the honours from the event:

Boys Rugby– 2nd place (and with only 6 players in a 7 a side tournament!!!)

Badminton– 1st place for Marc Graham

Following the success of pupils in the Secondary Athletics Championships, Johnstone HS pupils were selected to represent the region against East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. Well done to those who were selected for this event:

S1– Adam Cleer, Enis Dilmen, Finn Fowler

S2– Mackenzie Cunningham, Joshua Hewitson, Julie Keith

S3– Greg Steven, Daniel Smith, Amy Sneddon, Anna Murray, Allan Morton, Jenna Fraser

From this event our pupils secured 5 medals for the Renfrewshire team, a huge congratulations to their success and a just reward for their talents.

Amy Sneddon– Gold medal for the 400m and the 800m

Mackenzie Cunningham– Silver medal for the 200m
