Head Teacher’s Blog – Busy week in PMHS

It has been a really busy week in PMHS with a number of visitors coming in to work with pupils and also pupils out of school at events.

On Tuesday we had two visitors from HP who met with S3 pupils.  In each session they spoke to our pupils about the value of being able to speak another language and the opportunities this can open up in the workplace.  These visitors commented most favourably on the behaviour and attitude of our pupils during the sessions.

Also on Tuesday we had two chefs who came in to work with two S4 Hospitality classes.  They did some demonstrations of garnishing and knife skills and also set the pupils a number of tasks.  It was a really busy double period for all involved.

On Wednesday members of the Scottish Youth Jazz Orchestra came in to hold the first of a series of workshops with our S3 Music pupils.  All the pupils really enjoyed the experience and seemed to learn a lot.

I really welcome the opportunities for our pupils to work with outside visitors so I thank those who were in PMHS this week most warmly.

Also last Friday 6 S2 pupils attended the Junk Kouture semi finals rehearsals at the Glasgow Royal concert Hall where 2 of the pupils  modelled the 2 groups winning creations on the final catwalk. Pupils were ecstatic to have got through to the semi finals alongside 81 other groups from schools all over Scotland. Our two models rocked the catwalk showcasing all their hard work spent during their lunchtime over the past few months.
