The High School of Glasgow

🎭 This session's 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 saw eleven of our S1 - S3 pupils take on Dennis Kelly's acclaimed play 𝗗𝗡𝗔, performing over three evenings in the Senior School Drama Studio.

Darkly funny, gripping and unsettling, the play explores guilt, peer pressure and how far people will go to protect themselves. Our magnificent young cast tackled the tough subject matter with real maturity and skill, focus and determination.

👨‍🍳 Hot on the heels of the Transitus Bake Off Final, First Year pupils put their baking skills to the test in their very own Technical Challenge.

Bakers were given a ‘never before seen’ recipe - as they were challenged to make a batch of empire biscuits within a timed deadline... ⌛ and with no help from the experts!

Our pupils rose to the challenge, creating bakes that Paul Hollywood himself would have been proud of!

🏅 Congratulations to Star Baker Anna L, and to runners up Imogen M and Camilla F. And thanks must go to Cara M and Layla W for bringing the idea to Miss Moore, showing the power of pupil voice. Well done S1!

Did you have a favourite event when you were at school? Share your memories below!👇

🎓 What a fantastic day at our annual 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿! Our pupils had the chance to explore a huge range of exciting future pathways, from university to apprenticeships and beyond.

We were delighted to welcome more than 17 universities, including St Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Strathclyde, giving pupils the chance to chat directly with admissions staff and get the inside scoop on university life and study options.

The day was packed with brilliant talks and workshops too! 🙌 A huge thank you to Rathbones for an engaging introduction to careers in finance, and to The University Guys for sharing insights on studying abroad. Pupils also dived into careers in STEM, discovered the benefits of the apprenticeship route, and picked up top tips on writing standout personal statements thanks to the University of Stirling. A creative vision boarding workshop rounded things off nicely, encouraging pupils to think big about their goals and ambitions.

🙌 Our pupils left feeling informed, inspired and excited about what's next, with the knowledge and confidence to take their next steps with real purpose.
