involved with the non-uniform day also held on Friday. The grand total of
£1508.43 was raised – a great effort to start off our fundraising this year.
Home Economics Department
S4 HOSPITALITY
We recently interviewed Gemma Fox who works as a Supervisor in Osta in Stirling.
She told us about her duties which include customer care and checking people
into their rooms. Other than the long hours, she really likes her job because of
the thanks the customers give her. We got a tour of the rooms which are really
big, nicely decorated and have an ensuite bathroom. The celebrity she would like
to serve food to is Peter Kay because she thinks he would be interesting and is
a really funny person.
Thanks to Osta for allowing us to interview Gemma for the ‘This could be you’
section of the Department noticeboard.

The S4 Hospitality classes have also been producing reports on a news story or a
TV programme with links to Home Economics / Hospitality. The winner was Kyle
Anderson who submitted an excellent report on a house fire in Fallin which he
linked to Home Safety.

S3 Boys Football
The S3 boys football team secured a superb win over Wallace High last Thursday,
winning 7-0. Goals were scored by Jack Walker, Calum McCormack (2), Grant Dixon
(2), Grant Inglis, David McPhee.
Senior Rugby
Bannockburn High's return to rugby continued last night in a three way
tournament at Denny High School. The first of the two shortened games the boys
played was against Denny, where Bannockburn beat the hosts 5-0. The try was
scored by wing Stuart Hall who was also named man of the match.
The next game was a close encounter against Graeme High, where the boys showed
their improved skill levels by adopting a tactical kicking game, but
unfortunately lost 5-0. Man of the match here was full-back Scott Headley.
Throughout the two games Bannockburn were highly impressive in tackling and
direct running and should take pride from their physical and confident style of
play. Man of the Day was Callum Cameron, who played very well in his first
outing as fly-half.
