Commonwealth Queen’s Baton representatives from MHS are Bruce Philip and Andrea Goodman. Christmas Retirals Mrs Dobson, Principal Teacher of ASN is retiring at Christmas after 12 years working at Monifieth High School. The school wishes her all the very best for a long and happy retirement. CHARITY Blythswood Shoebox appeal Pupils at Monifieth High School have again been involved in collecting items for the Annual Shoebox Appeal 2013 which is run by Blythswood Care. The S2 Charities Team helped to organise the Appeal at Monifieth High School, which aims to give people of all ages the opportunity to receive gifts at Christmas in poorer countries such as Romania, Albania, Bulgaria and India. The Charities team worked hard to encourage pupils to fill regular sized shoeboxes with items such as toiletries, new clothes, stationery, household goods such as candles, DIY items such as screwdrivers, stationary and sweets. The appeal was very successful and the S2 Charities Team collected 69 shoeboxes. These boxes are now on their way to help brighten the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves at Christmas. Thanks to all who were involved in this worthwhile process. As you know we have adopted the four values from the Scottish Mace as our school values (Integrity, Compassion, Justice & Wisdom) and in order to make the pupils think compassionately about others in our community they were invited to bring in £1 to help support our annual Senior Citizen Christmas Tea Dance. We hosted an afternoon of entertainment and dance and our guests went away with a beautiful planter (made in Technical, painted in Art and filled with bulbs grown in Science) as a present. All of the guests were thrilled with their gift and one said will brighten up the duller days of winter ‘it every time they look at it’. MacMillan Coffee Morning On Friday 27th September, the staff from Monifieth High School staff took part in ‘The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.’ Through this event, the school raised £314.40 for Macmillan Cancer Support. A range of delicious homemade cakes were baked by pupils in the school. A raffle was also with a wide range of prizes to raise funds for McMillan Cancer Support.
