What's been happening in Modern Studies?
On Saturday 6th October, we held our first ever Family Fun day at Clydebank High. Organised by Ms Strang, the event was a great success and was very well attended by families in the community.
The event was part of Challenge Poverty Week – a Scotland-wide campaign designed to show that poverty is a real problem in Scotland, affecting large and growing numbers of people, and to encourage people to work together to end it.
Clydebank High’s Family Fun Day had lots of fun activities for children and relaxation sessions and cooking demonstrations were on offer for adults. Some of these activities included face painting, tattoos, jewellery making and the opportunity for people to get pampered and have their nails and hair done. A huge number of children’s books had been donated which gave young people the chance of selecting free books of their choice. Yoga and Mindfulness classes were also on offer. For the more energetic there was five-a-side football, beat the goalie and the hilarious use of sumo suits!
Foodbank and Toybank Appeal
After the huge success of last year, Ms Strang launched the Foodbank and Toybank Appeal again. In December 2016, West Dunbartonshire Community Foodshare gave 400 children within West Dunbartonshire 3-4 Christmas gifts each. Last year (2017), with the help of our amazing contributions, 548 young people received 5-6 lovely presents each.
So this year, in true Clydebank High spirit we were determined to make a difference to those experiencing poverty in our community.
Some of our senior pupils were very keen to help lead this appeal. Lucy Bowers, Georgia Wilkie, Jenna Higgins and Rachel Caldwell thought of various fundraising ideas and assisted with the organisation. Throughout they showed real dedication and compassion. Sophie Anderson and William Bowen also helped during events.
Through various fundraising events, along with staff donations, we raised an incredible £1000!! This allowed us to buy gifts for the Toybank. We also received countless donations from staff, parents, guardians, pupils and others out with West Dunbartonshire who had heard about our Appeal.
New York 2018!
