Events

As part of pupils learning journey, they may be given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational and cultural activities and events.

Here are some examples of recent cultural activities and events:

Cross-curricular project

In October/November 2025, S2 pupils have been developing their language skills with a cross-curricular project with Home Economics and had the chance to create some 'tortilla española'. Pupils enjoyed bringing their recipes to life! ¡Qué rico!

Tomando Tapas

In May, our S2 pupils enjoyed an exciting cultural experience with a trip to Helensburgh, where they visited a Spanish tapas restaurant. The visit offered students a taste of Spanish culture as they sampled a variety of traditional tapas dishes, helping to bring their language learning to life in a fun and engaging way. It was a fantastic opportunity for pupils to practise their Spanish in a real-world setting, deepen their understanding of the culture, and enjoy a memorable afternoon with their classmates. ¡Que sabroso!

S3 French pen-pal exchange

Since December, some of our S3 French pupils have been taking part in an exciting pen-pal exchange with a high school in Argenteuil, the twin town of Clydebank. Through the exchange of letters, pupils are having the opportunity to develop their literacy skills, while also learning more about life and culture in France. It has been a fantastic chance to build international connections, develop language skills, and gain a deeper appreciation of the shared links between our two towns.

French Café

S1 French have been enjoying a French-style café in their languages classes in December. They have been given the chance to try some French foods and ask for these in French. For example, pupils were able to ask for "un croissant" or "un pain au chocolat" along with their drink of choice "un jus d'orange" or "un jus de pomme". Quel délicieux!

European Day of Languages

To celebrate European Day of Languages, the Modern Languages department hosted a Bake Off competition for S1 pupils. Pupils were encouraged either to bake a cake following a recipe from a European country or to decorate a cake in the spirit of European Day of Languages. The department were very impressed with the range of entries received and it was very clear that a lot of time, thought and effort had been put in to each entry. ¡Qué delicioso! Huge well done to our winners and everyone who took part!. S2 Pupils were asked to design and write a postcard in a European Language. ¡Estupendo!

Euroscola

Amy and Georgia to Strasbourg to take part in the Euroscola trip. In total there were 26 pupils from 23 different schools across Scotland. The pupils took part in various activities, the most exciting of which was spending an entire day at the European Parliament where we sat in the seats of MEPs and discussed European issues with pupils of various nationalities. Magnifique! Bravo les filles!

Photography Exhibition at the Glasgow Art Club

Mrs Young organised an interdisciplinary learning trip with the Art department: 'Photography in Paris'. On their return the Paris group displayed their art work at the Glasgow Art Club for a week's exhibition. They took part in managing the event and developed excellent organisation skills to showcase their work. Fantastique!

S3 Languages and work day

S3 took part in listening to various speakers and attending workshops to explore the world of work using their language skills.
