​A number of S5/6 Art & Design pupils recently took part in a Design workshop.
The workshop was for a full day delivered by professional jeweller, maker and designer Helen McPherson who is also a former CVHS pupil. The pupils experimented with 3D construction techniques to create samples using a variety of media and materials. They thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and were totally engaged throughout, making outcomes that can easily be linked to their Higher design folios. A fantastic day which was enjoyed by all.

Clyde Valley High would like to take this opportunity to thank all staff and pupils who were part of last night's fantastic public speaking competition. Special mention goes to: John Ferrie, for chairing the event; Anushi Pathmanathan and Andrew Keating, for judging, and to Evelyn Neilson for presenting the winners with their trophies and for her closing remarks.

Our young speakers were simply outstanding! I may even go as far as saying it was the highest standard of competition we have ever witnessed. Even though we had two individual winners, every pupil enjoyed their own success last night. I could wax lyrical about all 12 speakers but wanted to give special mention to a few:

​S3 pupils Lucy Dunning, Logan Reid and Gregg Lanagan, have been chosen as one of the six teams to reach the final of this years Dragon's Lair 2016 competition. The team were up against over twenty entrants from other North Lanarkshire Council secondary schools. Last year's Clyde Valley team won the competition with their Beauty Bus business plan so this is the second year in a row that Clyde Valley High School has been successful in getting a team into the finals. The team will attend a finalists briefing session on Wednesday 9th November followed by the final on Wednesday 14th November

Clyde Valley's Career Fayre will take place on Wednesday 16th November from 1.30 pm - 5.00 pm.  All parents of S4 - S6 pupils are cordially invited to attend from 3.00 pm.
A variety of universities, colleges and training providers will be there to offer advice to pupils who wish to continue with their studies after leaving school.
Many national companies such as Arnold Clark, EDF Energy, and John Lewis will also be on hand to offer advice on career routes into their industries. This ranges from Modern Apprenticeships to Graduate Programmes.
The Armed Forces, Police and Fire Services will also be represented on the day.
All S4 -S6 pupils will spend the afternoon attending the Fayre and parents and guardians are encouraged to attend to help their children in this next important transition in their lives.
