A new week.
A fresh start.
This week let’s all try to be …
🌼 Spring brings new beginnings, and so does how we use social media. With International Day of Happiness here, it’s a great moment to refresh our habits, focus on what supports our wellbeing, and choose kindness online. Small actions can help our digital spaces feel lighter and more positive.

On Friday, our S6 Powering Futures class travelled to Stirling Court Hotel for their final presentations. The four GHS teams were joined by other Falkirk and Stirling schools to show off their year long projects to panels of judges from sponsor companies such as EDF Energy and PWC.
We have a strong relationship with our Community Learning and Development worker, Laura. Working in partnership with CLD adds a great deal to our school community, as you can see in this flyer:
S2 pupils welcomed engineers from INEOS for an inspiring session on our "Relationship with Energy." Pupils had to rethink their energy use such as social media scrolling or "hidden" energy in a chocolate bar, broadening their horizons as future innovators, engineers & leaders of a "Just Transition"
On Friday we welcomed Beancross P7 pupils for an extra transition experiment experience. We had 55 pupils across three classes all carrying out an experiment on Doping in Sports. We tested fake ‘urine’ to find out who had something they shouldn’t! Moray & Bowhouse PS due here over the next 2 weeks.
Managing worry is an essential life skill. We highly recommend Daylight for any pupils & their families who are looking for a reliable way to manage worry and anxiety. It's free, NHS-recommended, and ready when you are. Definitely worth a look! #AnxietySupport #Daylight
Congratulations to our YPI Winners SR and AR who won the hearts & minds of our judging panel to claim the £3000 for Cycling Without Age.

It's that special time of year again with our annual YPI final and the chance for our pupils to make the case for a number of local charities and claim the hugely valuable £3000 prize for their chosen charity. Here are our finalists.....
It’s World Sleep Day 💤
A lack of sleep can have a big impact on our wellbeing. When we talk with our YP we encourage them to recognise & express the emotions they’re feeling.
Conversations like these help remind everyone just how important a good night’s sleep really is for our minds & wellbeing 😴
Senior pupils took part in a full-day experience at the Engine Shed in Stirling, gaining a hands on insight into the world of construction and the wide range of roles the industry offers.
Across seven interactive tasters, pupils explored different trades and pathways.
Senior pupils represented the school brilliantly during their visit to The National Apprenticeship Show at the SEC Glasgow. The event brought together employers, universities, colleges and training providers, giving pupils the chance to explore a wide range of pathways and future opportunities.
There’s been a lot in the news lately, and it can feel overwhelming with everything happening at once. It’s okay to step back when you need to. Take breaks, talk with someone you trust, and focus on what’s within your control. Here are a few tips to help manage stress and stay balanced ⬇️
For World Book Day 📚 The Lighthouse, The Haven & The Harbour explored The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We chose this story for its themes of belonging, kindness and growth. Our doors reflected the story, helping bring these messages to life across our community. #WorldBookDay
