Hallside FP Stars for Scotland

February 27, 2012 Mr Bamford Leave a comment

Former Hallside pupil Duncan Weir, yesterday made his full international debut for the Scotland Rugby team in the RBS Six Nations match against France at Murrayfield. Unfortunately France won the game 23-17, but Duncan played well when he came on as a second half replacement.

Duncan plays for Glasgow Warriors and, clearly, he is going from strength to strength. He was very sporty when he was here and we are all very proud of his achievements.

Well done Duncan.

Well done to all the P6 and P7 boys and girls who, on Thursday and Friday, completed the gruelling 1.2km course around the school as part of the cross country trials.

Everyone completed the course and were very supportive of each other, cheering on the first people over the line and encouraging everyone across the finish line.

Mr Campell and Mrs Stephen are currently working on who will make it into the team for the Cambulang and Rutherglen Sports Council Cross Country Event on Thursday 8th May.

I’ll keep you posted here.

Well done to the euroquiz team, four p6 pupils: Jenna Murray, Megan Muir, Rhys Conner and Tony Montgomery who finished third in the euroquiz. They studied very hard and answered a lot of really tough questions. In the end there were only 3 points in it.

Well done, or should I say “Bravo!”

February 23, 2012 Mr Bamford Leave a comment

After weeks of whole cast auditions, large group auditions, small group auditions, paired auditions and individual auditions, vast amounts of deliberation and debate. Finally the cast of Oliver! 2012 know what parts they are going to play.Unfortunately it is impossible for everyone to get the part that they want, otherwise we would have 10 Olivers, 16 Nancys, 14 Dodgers, a handful of Bill Sikes and numerous Fagins. However, everyone did so well during the audition process and each and every person has a part to play, so together we will put on a fantastic show.

Congratulations to Lauren Stewart (Oliver), Melissa Dearie (Dodger), Amy Morton and Brooke Somerville (Nancy), David Carruthers (Fagin) and Adam Patton (Bill Sykes).

Check back here soon to see the full cast list (as soon as I have typed it all up!).

Hallside scored 30 goals and these were scored by Holli (5), Lucy (5), Aleesha (4), Kirsty (3), Lauren (3), Zoe (3), Lisa (2), Rhiannon (2), Angela (2) & Courtney (1).

Ms McMenemy and Ms Tees, the Girls Team coaches, both said that not only did they play well, but they also played with great spirit, team work and a good sense of fair play.
