Calling all host families …
We have another young person coming to us for a year in the Music School who needs a host family in Edinburgh: a delightful young chap from Germany named Theo. He is 16 years old, plays the trumpet and piano, and likes football, tennis, reading, and drawing. Click here to see his letter and pictures.
Would you like to host Theo for the year? Get in touch and say hello!
Scottish Education Awards: open nominations
Broughton High School is lucky to be able to celebrate many successes — whether academic or in the fields of sport, music or show business — as has been reported on this website.
Here is an opportunity to share the love: nominations for the Scottish Education Awards are open to 21 February. Any parent or pupil can nominate a school, a department, a teacher, or indeed a parent, a parent council, or a particularly active partner organisation.
Even just one or two nominations would be an excellent way to gain Scotland-wide recognition for our school. Won’t you click on this link to send one in?
Volunteers needed
Ella Duffy, 6th year, is fundraising for a charity called Project Trust, with whom she will be volunteering in her gap year in Guyana. She needs volunteer supervisors for an event she is organizing for 13 December (Friday). This is a Christmas ‘Jingle Ball’, with live music from a few bands from within and outside school, and tickets will be sold to S4-S6 students from Broughton and other schools. She is required to have a 1:10 adult-to-young-person ratio. She currently has 15 teachers to help; she anticipates needing 15 more adult volunteers.
Would you would be willing to supervise from the balcony in the Hub, from 6:15pm (the event starts at 6:30) until 9:30pm? Please drop us an ‘intouch’ e-mail if you can, and we’ll let Ella know she has more help.
