The day will start with a number of former pupils and other friends of Calderhead sharing breakfast with members of staff and senior pupils.
S3 pupils will then have opportunity to hear from the invited speakers who will share their personal experiences of their school careers and the journey they took from school to their current role and what their role involves.
S1 and S2 will take part in a fun teacher pathway quiz, with opportunity to score points if they can identify which teacher followed the specific pathway before embarking on their teaching career.
In the afternoon a variety of large firms from sectors including hospitality, retail, engineering, mechanics and customer service along with a number of smaller local firms and Further and Higher Education establishments will be in attendance.
The providers will pass on information about the opportunities available to them and some of the skills, qualities and academic achievements that are required.
Calderhead High School would also like to extend an invite to parents and any members of the community who are interested in finding out more about the opportunities these providers have between 3pm-4pm. Sports Hall Athletics Competition
Calderhead High School hosted the inaugural Sports Hall Athletics competition for local primary schools last Wednesday
Congratulations to the winners, Alexander Peden Primary School, and well done to all the schools who took part.
Special mention must go to senior pupils who helped set up the Games Hall and facilitate the event. Ceilidh Fun
Calderhead ended last term with two ceilidhs – the Primary 7 and S1 year groups had a fantastic time at their ceilidh which was organised by the Sports Leaders class.
Pupils and staff greatly enjoyed the whole school ceilidh which took place the next day and featured excellent live music and dancing. Interhouse Quiz
Mr Biggerstaff and Mr Reynolds organised the second Interhouse Quiz which took place during the last week of term.
With the help of all departments, they concocted some fiendish questions.
It was a closely run competition, with Burns House being declared the eventual winners. Well done to all who took part.
Burns House are also to be commended for donating the most items to the Christmas shoebox appeal.
The school packed and sent 35 boxes in total for the appeal and raised money for postage.
