Home Economics Department
Recipe of the Month – S1 Home Economics pupils have been working hard at
home researching Salad recipes which are healthy, easy to prepare and use
readily available ingredients. Many pupils made their chosen recipe,
photographed it and family and friends, bravely, tasted and commented on the
finished result. The overall winners were Megan McGurl and Emma Sutherland. All
class winners will demonstrate their recipe to their class.

Football – Congratulations to Kenny Govan (S5) who recently took part
in the trials for the Forth Valley under 18’s team, where he was successful in
gaining in a place. Kenny will hopefully be selected to play in the first team
for their first game on 3rd October.
Rugby - Bannockburn High's Senior Rugby team played their first game in
several years last Monday when they took on the visiting Stirling High. The boys
played exceptionally well against a large, well drilled Stirling team and can
take lots of pride in their effort and tackling, especially since many of the
squad were making their rugby debuts. The final score was eventually 44-10 to
Stirling, with Bannockburn tries scored by Andrew Kimmitt and Robert Kimmitt.
Man of the match went to Karl Duffy.
