Glasgow Schools’ Giant Heptathlon

It’s been a while since this has been on but the Glasgow Schools’ Giant Heptathlon Competition is back. Teams from each school are made up of 14 pupils - 7 boys and 7 girls. Each pupils score goes towards the teams total. After the 7 events are up there’s also a relay race which is always a highlight.  This year we have a young team taking part, your youngest ever but they are all very much looking forward to it. The Emirates is the venue for the competition which means our pupils will be getting to compete where all the pros race which is an exciting opportunity.

All pupils take part in all 7 events:

60m

600m

60m Hurdles

Shot Putt

Javelin

Long Jump

Standing Triple Jump

Good luck to the team

Scottish Schools’ Cross-Country Championships

What another fantastic day at Hopetoun House estate for the Scottish Schools’ Cross-Country Championships. We had our best year ever in terms of more top 50/100 place finishes and Daibhidh finished inside the top 10 - in 7th place and has secured his place in the Scottish Schools Cross-Country team! The first pupil from the school to finish in the top 10 in this event and the first pupil  to represent his country in the cross-country international. Absolutely outstanding! What a day!
