MALAWI PROJECT MYLOL 2014 The Springburn Academy Malawi Project evolved over the 2013-14 session and became known as MYLOL 2014 – Malawi Young Leaders of Learning. We partnered with Lochend Community High School and embarked on a leadership and team building journey throughout the session. Springburn Academy selected 11 young people from S6 to take this project forward on behalf of the school, building on the preliminary work established by Mr Lamb and Miss Timlin who visited Malawi in June 2013. The group have been involved in many, many fundraising events and have been working towards their total of £20, 000. Along with fundraising leadership training and team building has been an integral part of the journey. The group have been attending training events almost every Thursday night in Glasgow City Chambers to prepare themselves for this life changing experience.

The MYLOL 2014 project has not just been about the 11 young people, but has involved the whole school community through fundraising events. The team have organised fun runs for all S1/2 pupils, car boot sales for the local community, staff dinner nights, silent auctions, race nights, plus many more. All events have helped raise awareness of Malawi and it links with Scotland, also highlighting the importance of the project.

The young people will be visiting a school called Chichiri Secondary School in Blantyre, which Springburn Academy created a partnership with last year and will work with a corresponding Malawian MYLOL group to help renovate classrooms in the attached primary school. In doing this, it creates a better environment for teaching in Chichiri Primary School and helps the learners understand better by putting teaching resources on the walls, creating a stimulating place to learn. Working on a project like this will change our young people’s lives and give them perspective on their own situation.

The project has developed them into leaders of learning and will give them experiences to be more resilient – all qualities require of a modern day school leaver. After the young people visit “The warm heart of Africa” they will have enough memories and stories to last a lifetime and hopefully continue to help the Springburn Academy Malawi Project in the future, by building on the legacy of what they have started.

UNDER 18 FOOTBALL

Springburn Academy's Under-18 football team has made history this year by winning the double of the Glasgow Senior Championship Shield and the Cameronian (Glasgow) Cup. Both competitions are over 100 years old and this is the first ever win in either trophy for Springburn Academy, formerly Albert Secondary School. In addition the team also reached the final of the Scottish Senior Shield this year, losing only on penalties to St Ambrose High, Coatbridge, after a 0-0 draw.

The same Springburn team had formerly won the Scottish under 16 Shield in 2012, again the first success for the school in a national trophy. The final of the Glasgow Championship Senior Shield was played at the ground of Maryhill Juniors FC on Saturday 17 May. The team triumphed over Holyrood Secondary 1-0 with the winning goal coming in the second half from Billy Vidler. So on the same day St Johnstone won its first ever Scottish Cup. Springburn won the famous Glasgow Shield for the first time. Four days later, the boys faced Our Lady at St Patrick's High School in the Cameronian (Glasgow) cup final at Celtic Park. On a never to be forgotten day for all concerned. Springburn again triumphed 1-0, with the winner yet again scored by Billy Vidler. The match was followed by a celebration dinner held at Celtic Park to mark the six years the team has been together. The dinner was attended by staff, team and parents and other family.

The team has been taken by Craig Hamilton DHT and Cara Timlin PT Pastoral Care since the boys have been in S1. Mr Hamilton says "This is a really special group of boys who been magnificent ambassadors for the School and their families over the past 6 years. Their loyalty to the School and their team - mates is second to none and it has been a real privilege to work with them over the years. I am so pleased that their dedication to the School has been rewarded with this historic Glasgow double." Ms Timlin says "I'm so proud of all the boys- it has been a pleasure working with them for the last 6 years and I wish them all the best for the future.”"

SOCIAL SUBJECTS & RME IDL Project For the third year running, our 2nd year pupils are participating in an Inter Disciplinary Project on the issue of Development and the problems associated with it. The project’s aims are to enhance and develop previous learning from the discreet subjects of History, Geography, Modern Studies and RME and to develop the skills of citizenship, critical thinking and evaluation and analysis. The theme covers the history of the scramble for Africa, explores problems connected with aid and debt, looks at the problem of child soldiers and street children and investigates and evaluates the solutions of The Millennium Goals and Fair-trade. Moreover, pupils are also encouraged to reflect on the problems of others and respond to feelings of empathy with a desire to enact change for the better in the wider world around them. Pupils will be taken off of timetable mid-June to experience workshops and talks from various outside agencies and certificates and prizes will be given to pupils who have shown effort, ability and creativity come assessment time. We believe it is a very positive experience for all involved!

PERFORMING ARTS 2013-2014 Scottish Chamber Orchestra On 20 September two members of the SCO came to do a workshop in school about Scottish composer James McMillan and his piece “Veni, Veni Emmanuel”. They talked to the pupils about the techniques McMillan used in his composition and how we could recreate some of his ideas in our own composition work. The pupils then split into groups and came up with some lovely pieces of music. The following week the same pupils attended a performance of “Veni, Veni Emmanuel” by the SCO at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. The concert was great and the pupils enjoyed the experience.

Behind the Noise - Lectures Behind the Noise is an 8 month long course on the music industry. Pupils learn about different aspect of music business including intellectual property rights and how to put on a gig. The pupils formed a band and recorded a demo in a professional recording studio which can be heard on SoundCloud. The final part of the course is Gig at the Grand, a showcase of all the Glasgow school bands involved in the project.

Calamity Jane On the 30 October 25 pupils and teachers form Springburn Academy attended a performance of Calamity Jane at the Kings Theatre. It was a whip-cracking performance!

Rachel Sermanni Songwriting Workshop On the 5 November a group of budding songwriters and guitar players headed to the Scottish Music Centre at the City Halls for a song writing workshop delivered by singer/songwriter Rachel Sermanni. Rachel performed some of her songs, gave the pupils some tips for song writing and took questions from the audience. The session was really interesting and inspired some of our young people to go home and write a song!

Sweet Injection Concert Sweet Injection performed as part of our S1/2 Halloween disco in October. Sweet Injection is a girl group from Glasgow. They sang a mixture of covers and original songs complete with dance routines. They were very popular with the pupils…..especially the boy ;)

Supernova Concert Supanova are a guitar based band from the Glasgow area. They performed in November to pupils who bought tickets. The band was very popular and has developed quite a fan base within the school.

Findlay Napier & Louis Abbott Songwriting Workshop On the 6 December a group of pupils attended a second song writing workshop with Admiral Fallow member Louis Abbott and Back of the Moon member Findlay Napier. They talked about their own experiences as musicians and songwriters. They gave the audience an opportunity to ask questions about life as a musician. They performed some songs together and some individually. It was really interesting and good to get another perspective on song writing.

Entry to the Creative Industries During December, Chloe Dobson-O’Sullivan from Focus West at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland came to school to deliver workshops on the creative industries. S5/6 pupils who are interested in a career in music, acting, television, radio, theatre etc were invited to attend. The workshop focused on the different careers within the industry and the different paths you can take to get there e.g. college/university courses and work experience. The workshops were over a couple of weeks and helped to direct pupils to the most suitable courses for their desired careers. Winter Concert The Winter Concert was held on the 11 December in the Fuel Zone. It showcased the wealth of talent and hard work going on in the department. There were performances from the school choir, band, woodwind group, rock group and soloists. There was a great turn out from friends and family. The Home Economics department provided delicious refreshments which went down a treat!

Celtic Connections On the 16 January, the Performing Arts Department took 100 S1 pupils to see the Treacherous Orchestra perform at Celtic Connections. The concert was held at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall which was packed with school pupils from all over Scotland. The S1 pupils behaved exceptionally well and really got involved in the experience clapping and dancing along!

West Side Story In the evening of the 16 January, 25 pupils and teachers went to the Kings Theatre to see a performance of a Performing Arts Department favourite - West Side Story. The performance was by a professional touring company and was brilliant! We sat in the Gods which meant we had a great birds-eye view of the dance routines. Burns Supper The Performing Arts Department took part in the school Burns Supper on the 23 January. The Higher and Advanced Higher pupils sang a beautiful version of The King’s Shilling whist S1 pupils performed Auld Lang Syne on the glockenspiels. The night was finished with some tasty haggis, neeps and tatties and a dance to the Bearsden Fiddlers ceilidh band.

Associated Board of the Royal School of Music This year 5 woodwind pupils were entered for ABRSM exams. They all passed! Chantelle Brodie achieved a merit at grade 1 Flute; Fraser McLeod grade 2 Flute; Lauren Flynn grade 2 Clarinet; Chloe Tough grade 2 Clarinet and Lauren Dimmer achieved a merit at grade 2 Clarinet. Well done everyone 

Behind the Noise – Recording Studio & Production Day The Behind the Noise band, Static recorded their demo of Starlight by Muse. They did this with professional engineers in a professional studio and it sounds fantastic! You can hear the track on the Behind the Noise Soundcloud page. The members of Static also attended a Production Day at the Classic Grand on Jamaica Street. They were taught about the different aspects of producing a professional gig complete with sound, lighting and special effects. It was a lot of work but the band really enjoyed meeting bands from other schools.

Gold Ticket Showcase at the Emirates Arena Music class 1.5 travelled to the Emirates Area to perform their own compositions on the djembes. The djembes were bought with money from the Gold Ticket fund and are used as part of our world music studies. The class composed their music based on a Commonwealth Games theme with rhythms made up from the names of Commonwealth countries.

Glasgow Music Festival Choir Competition This was the 3rd year running the Springburn Academy Choir competed in the Glasgow Music Festival Choir Competition. Each year they have improved on their previous performance and this year was no exception! The choir scored 87 which is an admirable score. The choir sang Pompeii by Bastille and Royals by Lorde. The choir were complimented on their performance by other schools, the former Head of Instrumental services, competition organisers and the adjudicator. Following their performance, the choir have been handpicked to perform at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall as part of their Music Café series in June.

Ashley Collins Concert Ashley Collins is a Glasgow based singer songwriter with her own record label. She came to school to perform to a select group of S1 pupils on the 14 May. Ashley sang some of her own songs and did a few covers too. The pupils joined in with some dancing too! After her performance, Ashley took questions from the pupils, most of which were about her experience on Britain’s Got Talent!

Behind the Noise Gig at the Grand This gig was amazing! Eight bands from eight Glasgow schools performed 15 minutes sets to a sold out audience at the Classic Grand. Static, the band from Springburn Academy, includes Jamie Gordon (vocals), Andrew McLachlan (guitar), Oskar Mazurek (drums) and Nathan Buchan (bass guitar). They played a varied set including songs by Nirvana and Muse. The boys performed brilliantly and held the audience captive with their distinctive sound and style.

Music Café at the Royal Glasgow Concert Hall On the 19 June the Springburn Academy Choir will perform at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall as part of their Music Café series. The choir will sing for 1 hour for people who are having their lunch in the Concert Hall café. The choir will also get the chance to see behind the scenes at the Concert Hall with a private tour and a chance to have a go singing on the stage! It is an honour to have been selected for this and the choir hope to impress the audience with their selection of popular songs.

HISTORY DEPARTMENT

SUPI Spotlight News, views & learning from the School University Partnerships Initiative (SUPI). Welcome to our first edition of ‘SUPI Spotlight’ - a quarterly round-up of SUPI news, views, triumphs, challenges and all-round learning. SUPI Spotlight is produced by the NCCPE* with and for the 12 SUPI projects. SUPI is funded by Research Councils UK. What’s in it for…Pupils? In the first of our ‘what’s in it for?’ series, pupils participating in the Strathclyde University hosted SUPI, ‘MUSE’, share their experiences of working with, and becoming, researchers.

S4 Pupils, Springburn Academy Project, MUSE: We have been participating in an oral history project looking at Springburn and the locomotive works that once dominated the area. We chose to take part as we thought that it would be interesting, boost our Confidence and look impressive on our UCAS applications. We’ve been working every Friday with James Owens and Andy Clark from Strathclyde University.

We began by considering the ways that researchers find and use sources such as newspapers and diaries. This was really interesting as we’d never really thought about the ways that newspapers ‘spin’ stories to give a particular version and to make money. Next we looked at how oral history can offer insights into areas that are not recorded in these types of sources. We interviewed five Springburn residents, which was really enjoyable. It gave us first-hand experience of doing interviews, asking questions and interacting with interviewees. We are now putting together a Powerpoint presentation that will give us great experience in presenting our work to others.

“It gave us “first hand” experience of doing interviews, asking questions and interacting with interviewees.”

FASHION & TEXTILE

Clothing Industry in Action Higher and N5 Fashion Textile Technology pupils visited 2 clothing manufacturers in April to see manufacturing processes in action. First they visited Mackintosh in Cumbernauld where Willie the head of manufacturing was very keen to show off the traditional textile skills still used in the making of the traditional raincoats. The pupils were very surprised to see so many men working in the cutting, tailoring and quality checking of the business. And were even more impressed when they got to see the new Louis Vuitton Mac the company were making for the new season that will retail around £1000! The two hour visit ended with a can of juice and questions in the refectory where Willie couldn’t have been more helpful or interested in our pupils who he noted were a credit to the school for their excellent behaviour. He is interested in keeping the link with the school and keen to have more pupils visit if they were interested in returning. Some even said they would like a job so a great visit all round.

The second company visited was Endura in Livingstone - one of the largest brands of cycle clothing in the UK. This operation showed the pupils where technology has improved some of the labour intensive aspects of the clothing industry by use of CAD / CAM operations. The pupils were shown state of the art laser pattern / cutting and printing systems and the operations manager Allison printed a design onto a cycle shirt especially so the higher class could see a heat transfer in action.

IDL LEARNING PROJECT Numeracy Day Numeracy Day is an Inter-Disciplinary Learning project, which highlights the importance of Numeracy across the curriculum. This project is now 2 years old and involves S1 pupils taking them on a Numeracy journey across the school showing where Numeracy is used in not so obvious places. The pupils learn about the importance of numbers and statistics in PE when analysing fitness, the importance of measurement and design in technical, using numbers in Music for time signatures are but a few of the experiences our S1 learners encounter throughout Numeracy Day. The day is ran by the Maths Department and to round off their Numeracy based activities the pupils have to design, cost and build a bridge out of recyclable materials, linking in nicely with an overarching theme of global warming.

The event has been hugely successful over the last two school sessions is now sustainable to last many more. All S1 pupils reviewed the event and found it very worthwhile and opened their eyes to where Numeracy is used – not just numbers and sums!

Cara Timlin No Smoking Group The S5 No Smoking group have now rolled out their DVD “Stub it Out” to all schools in the North East of Glasgow. They have also presented to all of the local primary schools. The group is now in the process in handing over their work to a group of S3 pupils to carry on their work for the future. The no-smoking policy is now full force and is as follows:

 No smoking on school grounds.  No smoking within 200 metres of the school.  All staff and pupils will ensure that no-one smokes within school grounds/in sight of the school.  School will inform parents if their child has been seen smoking on school grounds.  School will offer parents information to help their child to get support to stop smoking.  School will also signpost adults such as staff and parents to local smoking cessation services.  The school will always support the no smoking policy

The John Muir Award At the start of the academic year the Geography department offered the John Muir Award to the second year pupils as an extra-curricular activity. The John Muir Award is an environmental award scheme focused on wild places. It encourages awareness and responsibility for the natural environment, in a spirit of fun, adventure and exploration.

The pupils were asked to give up one Saturday per month and join in group activity to learn about and improve their environment. I was very fortunate to gain the support of our community partnerships and two volunteers from Glasgow life also joined us. We were also joined by Gavin Finbow from the parks department in Glasgow who is also trained as an outdoor leader. The pupils of Springburn Academy were allocated a small section of Springburn Park to improve and create a welcoming space for wildlife that people could come and enjoy in peace. Initially we cleared the wooded area and made it more hospitable for wildlife.

Gavin then cut wood from a fallen tree and the pupils used this to create a natural path through the woods. This allowed people to come and walk through the woods and enjoy the peace and tranquillity whilst not disturbing the wildlife. The pupils created seats out of the fallen tree so that visitors could come and rest and enjoy the space. The wooded area is adjacent to the entrance of Stobhill hospital and it is hoped that anyone who visits the hospital will find a space with peace and tranquillity if they need it.

The john Muir candidates were an absolute credit to Springburn Academy in both their behaviour and commitment. The pupils learned about creating natural homes for wildlife how to recognise changes in the season and we all gained a new respect for our environment. All pupils worked really hard but six pupils really stood out in their dedication and effort. They were Alan Bartraham, Chloe McPhake, T J Magee, Ross Morrison, Chantelle Brodie and Dionne Walsh. Whilst it is fantastic that the pupils and community partners were so enthusiastic of the scheme I must also thank the parents and carers of our pupils at Springburn Academy. Without your support and commitment we would not able to offer extra-curricular activities such as the John Muir Award.

RMPS 2nd/4th year Option Class Trip to the Sikh Gurdwara Sat-sri-akal!

This week the RMPS department and some of our pupils enjoyed a warm welcome from the Sikh Gurdwara in the South Side of Glasgow. The aim of the trip was to cement some of the learning that had been going on in the classroom and give pupils a first-hand insight into the beliefs and practices of the Khalsa.

Gavin tries out the Indian keyboard!

Congratulations to Natalie Fielding (S6) in gaining her Award with distinction at Glasgow Caledonian in Fashion Brand Retailing. Natalie has gained a place on the degree course in September

Malorie Blackman: Children’s Laureate Event On Wednesday the 21 of May, the English Department – along with 60 of their hardest-working pupils from S1 and S2 - had the pleasure of attending the Mitchell Theatre to see one of their favourite authors. Malorie Blackman entertained them for over 2 hours and inspired many of the audience to rush to the library to borrow her books.

Overall, it was a fantastic morning and the English Department were very proud of the excellent behaviour displayed by all pupils who attended.

Sports Ambassadors and Sports Leaders Scoop Top Award for initiative at the Merchant of Awards Many congratulations to the pupils of Springburn Academy PE department for securing first place at the recent Merchant House Awards held in the City Chambers.
