• This week we have celebrated our Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond Clans of 2024! They performed a fun and emotional connects for their families and marked leaving Calderwood by having a clan meal at Nandos. We wish them lots of luck on the next part of their adventure at West Calder High School.

 

• And just like that we have reached the end of Chapter 3, and what an adventure it has been! Chapter 3 saw the biggest growth to date at Calderwood with new clans, children, families and champions. We have had so many achievements this session and have made a lot of progress with our improvement journey, a huge thank you to our champion team for making this possible! Thank you also to you for all your support over the year. Happy holidays everyone, we will see you all in Chapter 4!
