Big Debate: the Referendum!
On Wednesday 20 March, senior pupils from Broughton High School will debate the Referendum in ‘Question Time’ style, chaired by Arthur McIvor, Chief Executive of the Scottish Parliament & Business Exchange. Local councillors will be in attendance. Pupils have demonstrated high levels of engagement on this topic in recent months and the event is set to be lively and informative. Community Learning & Development Worker at the City of Edinburgh Council, Callum McLeod, who is based at Broughton High School, organised the event. The Parent Council will be tweeting live updates throughout.
More pupil triumphs!
What a month! Our young people are doing us very proud.
Last week Broughton S1 students won a prize for creativity in writing and performing a play entirely in French. This was part of Recontres Theatrales, an event organised by the French Institute.
In sporting news, five S2 boys have been chosen for the SFA’s Southeast Scotland Regional Selection Camp later in the month. No other school in the area has more than one representative. And David Hand has been selected by GB Tae Kwon Do for the second of three selection phases for the next Olympics!
Triumph of a different sort comes with Isla Ratcliff, who has been longlisted in Amnesty International’s Protest Song Competition. Over 744 people from across the country took part in this competition, and Isla’s entry has made the top 12 in both the Performance Category and the Lyric Category.
And hot off the press, BHS won 1st prize at junior and senior level on Friday, at the Edinburgh Schools Dance Competition, held at Forrester High School. Junior choreography was by Jenni Inglis; senior choreography was by Laura Proudfoot.
Three cheers from the Parent Council!
The Broughton Association: another way for parents to get involved
You may have heard of the ‘Broughton Association’, and wondered what it is.
Answer: the fundraising arm of the Parent Council. The general idea is to organise social activities to deepen relations between staff, parents, and others associated with the school, and to make money to donate to various places in school — club trips, for example, or learning materials, or things like software licences.
Want to get involved? The BA meets the first Wednesday of the month during term time (6.30-7.30pm). Current attendees are Carole Melee (Chair), Naomi Crowley (Treasurer), Fiona Robb, Jane Bremner, David Martin and Caroline McKeown. The school representative is Susan Bennett. Just drop her a note, at Susan.1.Bennett@broughton.edin.sch.uk if you’d be interested in joining in!
