Hola! We had a visit from 5 B Ed students who are in Scotland for 3 months. As part of their induction to Glasgow they observed some classes and had a tour of the school. They were looking at Contextualised Learning in Language and they asked to pass on their thanks to all pupils and staff who welcomed them and showed them Gaelic Medium Education in action.

Club Bracaist – Breakfast Club
Breakfast - toast, juice and cereal 50p. Open from 8.00 – 9.00 pm for pupils who are purchasing breakfast. Cordia staff are only responsible for pupils purchasing a breakfast. Tighter guidelines regarding fire procedures have raised concerns re pupils arriving in that time who are not participating in the breakfast club. School staff supervise in the dining hall from 8:30am onwards, therefore pupils who are not purchasing breakfast should not be in the dining hall before 8:30am.
UK Maths Trust Team Challenge
Mr Smith took 4 pupils to the S1/S2 UK Maths Trust Team Challenge on Friday 15th April at the West of Scotland University in Paisley. They competed in 4 rounds and tried some very challenging maths! Well done to Lewis Grimmer, Harry McGrory, Rosie Urquhart and Eilidh Miller who came 13th out of 25 schools, which is an excellent result. The pupils were a credit to the school and to themselves in terms of attitude, behaviour and effort. Mr Smith enjoyed the day thoroughly and hopefully the pupils enjoyed the day and improved their teamwork and maths skills!
