Scottish Youth Parliament
Zoe Taylor, our present Head Girl will be standing as a candidate in the
forthcoming elections to the Scottish Youth Parliament. Stirling has never
elected anyone to the Scottish Youth Parliament before so it would be a
great opportunity for the young people of Stirling to have their voices
heard. We are hopeful that you will encourage and support Zoe in her bid for
election success. If you are between 12 and 25 you can vote for Zoe in the
following ways – mobile polling station will be in Stirling Town centre on
Saturday 17th and 24th May, Text VOTE followed by ZOE TAYLOR to 07717996884

S1 Interviews
The final interviews between S1 pupils and pupil
support teachers took place on Monday and Tuesday of this week, allowing
time for pupils to discuss their reports and the progress they have made
during their first year in Bannockburn High. The reports will be sent out to
parents/carers in the coming days.
Activities
The school will be a lot quieter over the next few days as a great number of
pupils are taking part in trips to Alton Towers, a 3 day excursion to London
and Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme Expeditions.
School Show
A reminder that ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ will take place between 17th and
19th June in the Lecture theatre. Tickets will be available shortly.

qualified trainer. There is a first meeting for parents who want to find out
