On Friday 10th December, our pupils participated in National Christmas Jumper Day, to raise funds for St. Andrew’s Hospice.

Our Pupil Council did a fantastic job in organising the day, which also included a Bake Sale in the Social Area at interval which was co-ordinated by some of our Senior Officials, as well as a “Guess How Many Sweets in the Jar?” competition, organised by Pupil Council members Dominick Grant and Andrew Gregg (S2).

A huge well done to all of our pupils for their participation and to our Pupil Council for working so hard to organise this.

An announcement about the total amount raised will be made before the Christmas Holidays.

Congratulations to 5 pupils who have received a Music Leaders Scotland Award in conjunction with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

The pupils worked throughout session 2020/21 to fulfil various performance and leadership outcomes, at either bronze, silver or gold level, which included coaching younger pupils, participating in ensembles and solo performance.

The award is intended to offer challenge to highly able musicians and all 5 pupils rose to the challenge remarkably, especially considering school closures and the many restrictions placed upon musicians.

Left to right are Elizabeth Kay (bronze), Samantha Sharkey (bronze), Lauren Hetherton (silver), Emma Morrison (gold) and Abigail Thomson (gold).

We are very proud of your achievements!

The young people of Dalziel High School produced an outstanding set of SQA results this year, despite their school year being disrupted once again.

Public Speaking at Dalziel is always an event which is taken very seriously. The competitiveness this year between the 3 houses Barclay, Colville and Greig was higher than ever.
