The first art exhibition of WDC pupil’s creative work was held in memory of former art teacher Jackie McGoldrick; who taught at Clydebank High for over 18 years.
Her family wanted to celebrate Jackie’s passion for teaching Art, Design & Photography to young people by organising a prestigious art event which showcased 60 pieces of students work selected from WDC’s 5 secondary schools. There were 3 prizes; with the winning entry Frankie receiving a £200 CASS art voucher for him to spend on art materials.
The opening event on the 31st October was well attended by pupil’s family and friends in the fashionable gallery space Alchemy in Byres Rd, it is hoped this will become an annual event in October.
Well done to all pupils and staff involved to make this event such a success.
There is still time to pop along and view our amazing pupils work. All submitted artwork will be on display until 14 November, 2024.
School will close Friday 8th November at 3pm and will re-open Tuesday 12th November at 8.50am for a teacher inset day.
School inset days are specific days set aside for teachers’ professional development rather than regular classes. "Inset" stands for In-Service Training, and these days give teachers and staff time to engage in training sessions, plan curricula, discuss school strategies, and undertake other professional activities aimed at improving teaching quality.
Our senior prelims will commence on Thursday 5 December 2024.

Senior pupils from the Childcare class planned and organised a delightful Halloween party for children from Kilbowie nursery and primary school! The event, held in the high school’s gym hall, was filled with fun, age-appropriate activities that brought smiles and laughter to the young attendees.
Our young people acted as hosts and supervisors, showing patience and creativity while guiding the children through each activity. The highlight for many children dunking for appled and decorating the cup cakes. Well done to all the pupils involved—you made this Halloween one to remember!

Our S5 pupils had an unforgettable experience during their History trip to London. The itinerary included visits to iconic landmarks like the Tower of London, immersive museum tours, and exciting excursions to Camden Market and Oxford Street for some local culture and shopping. A highlight of the trip was attending a breathtaking performance of The Lion King at the theatre, followed by a fun-filled game of bowling to round off the adventure. The trip offered a perfect blend of education, culture, and entertainment, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!

Our S4 History pupils had a thought-provoking visit to Glasgow's Merchant City, where they explored streets and buildings that reflect the city's historical ties to the Atlantic Slave Trade. Many of these structures were financed by the wealth accumulated by the Tobacco Lords, who made their fortunes during the Atlantic Slave Trade.
A powerful learning experience, highlighting how Glasgow’s past wealth was tied to this dark chapter in history!
