STAGE FRIGHT
Scottish actor Richard Rankin recently visited Braidhurst High.
Richard, who can currently be seen on TV as Roger Wakefield in Outlander, delivered a one- off drama workshop to S3 pupils who are studying for their national qualification in drama.
The event was organised by the school’s drama teacher Mrs Reilly and was a huge success.
Richard got pupils to work in groups as they took part in various drama activities such as improvisation.
Afterwards, Richard happily answered questions on his career as an actor and his top tips for success before posing for a photograph.
The Hallowe’en disco “Fright Night”, which was organised by the school’s senior pupils, was once again a roaring success.
Trick or treaters from S1 to S6 arrived at the school dressed up in their Hallowe’en costumes ready to have fun and dance the night away.
Once again, the evening’s most popular attraction was the “Scary Corridor”, which pupils entered if they dared to be scared.
Pupils in the school’s art department, with assistance from Miss Galloway, worked on displays which were inspired by famous horror, thriller and scary movies, both past and present, such as the Addams Family, Van Helsing, IT and others to name a few.
The paintings and decorations were a fantastic addition to the disco.
Well done to S4 Performance School of Football pupils Reece McAlear and Jack Brown who recently played in the final match of the 2017 Victory Shield which saw Scotland meet the Republic of Ireland.
The school’s S1 netball team recently competed against St Andrew’s High School in a Scottish Cup fixture.
Despite losing the girls played well under the instruction of PE teacher and netball coach Miss Young.
The players of the match were Roksana Sykula and Amy McAlonan.
