James Watt College

Craig McEwan from James Watt College visited the school last week to speak to the S2 pupils about the Skills for Work programme they run for S3 - S4 pupils. It looks very interesting and worthwhile and hopefully some of our pupils will be taking part next session.

Secondary Sport Relief

Today in P.E the children in S3-5 ran 3 miles to raise money for the BBC Sport Relief appeal. We ran from the school, along te esplande and finished with a well earned rest at the bookshop! Well done guys, some great running - Daniel, Alexander, Iain and Craig came home first with Ailie as the first girl. The picture is of the boys cooling off at the bookshop after the run.

After school clubs - Choir!

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to listen to the after school choir group singing "The Rose" and "The Lord Bless you and Keep you" yesterday. Both pieces were beautiful! Well done everyone, keep it up!

Ken Cunningham

We were very fortunate to have Ken Cunningham working with us on Wednesday this week.

Ken is the General Secretary of SLS and was working with us to review and evaluate some of our existing practice. He also gave us some advice on possible ways to further develop, extend and improve the school. It was very informative and worthwhile.

We have taken an excellent opportunity at Ingliston Equestrian Centre near Bishopton and are have a two hour lesson every Wednesday for the next 5 weeks. The children are split into two groups and each group has an hour riding and an hour if stable management. Ingliston is a renowned venue for showjumping and horse riding events so we are delighted to be able to use their wonderful facilities. Here are some pictures of our first week.
