SHINE
It is widely recognised that holiday periods add to the stress of poverty for some families and results in less access to food and social activity for them than their peers. SHINE (School Holidays Involve Nurture & Engage) works with local organisations and groups to increase provision of free social activities for school children over holiday periods including breakfast and lunch clubs.

Pupils from Business and Computing Science have recently returned from an exhilarating trip to New York City, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The trip, which took place from June 17 to June 22, provided our young people with a unique blend of education, culture, and adventure, leaving them with memories that will last a lifetime.
One of the highlights of the trip was visiting New York’s iconic landmarks. Our senior pupils were awestruck by the majesty of the Statue of Liberty and the panoramic views from the Empire State Building. Times Square’s bustling atmosphere offered a true taste of the city’s vibrant energy.
The memories created, the knowledge gained, and the friendships strengthened during this adventure will resonate for years to come.

In a delightful blend of thrill and sweetness, pupils from Clydebank High School embarked on a two-day adventure to Alton Towers and Cadbury World, creating memories that will be cherished for years to come.
Highlights of the first day included rides on some of the park’s most famous roller coasters. The Smiler, known for its record-breaking number of inversions, and Nemesis, with its intense loops and twists, were particularly popular among our young thrill-seekers.
After a night of rest and reliving the day’s thrills, the students set off for Cadbury World.
The trip to Alton Towers was deemed a great success, leaving our young pupils eagerly looking forward to future school trips with Business and Computing Science department.

On the 18th and 19th June our talented pupils, ranging from S1-S6, took to the stage to perform the uplifting musical Sister Act, joined by P6 and P7 pupils from Gavinburn Primary School as our choir. Sister Act is a heart-warming tale of a singer, called Deloris Van Cartier, who has to go into hiding in a convent and discovers the true meaning of friendship along the way.
Deloris was played by the wonderful Kirsten Oliver, who lit up the stage and really was ‘Fabulous Baby’, is hiding from gangster and all round bad guy Curtis Jackson, played by the very talented Connor Austin, along with his thugs Maya, Lucie, Elmas and Logan.
Ace Scott played Eddie, a cop who has been in love with Deloris since high school and needs to keep her safe, and performed the beautiful solo ‘I Could Be That Guy’, while Carys Pidgeon and Lindsey Lopez were fabulous and hilarious as Mother Superior and Monsignor O’Hara, on a mission to keep their church afloat.
