    Bad Idea? Definitely Not

    With her fantastic idea, Holly made it from the first round out of twenty other pupils and into the topfive for the final round. Holly spent a great deal of time considering her idea and conducted hoursof market research. This included contacting Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Kate, Duchessof Cambridge as they are expecting a baby, to ask them if they would be interested in her idea.She also visited a hospital maternity unit to interview staff and patients and stood outside her localsupermarket to speak to customers to ask their opinion on her product. Holly clearly put a lot ofthought and effort into this competition and has done very well considering she was the youngestpupil involved and was too shy to stand up in the beginning and introduce herself.

    Holly McIntyre of S2 recently entered an enterprisecompetition called Bad Idea. The aim behind thecompetition is that there is no such thing as a bad idea!She had to come up with an idea for a new, innovativeproduct or service and pitch it in a dragons den style toa group of interested businesses and entrepreneurs. Thewinning idea for a product or service would be turned intoa reality!

    Holly came up with the idea of having a safety mechanismfor prams which allowed the pram to be connected by awrist strap to the person pushing it. This would stop thechance of people losing control of their prams andpushchairs and make mothers and fathers feel much saferwhen outside pushing their child.

    All of the organisers and judgescommented on how composed she waswhen presenting her idea in front ofeveryone and how well she articulatedherself. Although Holly was chosen to beone of the finalists, unfortunately herproduct idea did not win but Holly was anabsolute credit to Bannerman High Schooland hopefully she has caught theentrepreneurial bug. Well done Holly!

    S1 Bookathon

    The S1 Bookathon took place a little later than normal this year but was no less successful. Throughouthe week of 18th 22nd March all S1 pupils took part in a sponsored read for the Teenage CancerTrust. Every English period for the week was dedicated to reading and all the classes had a readingperiod in the library where they could choose all their books for the challenge!

    As always the pupils worked really hard during this week and altogether they raised a fantastic1054.45 for the charity which will be put to very good use.

    Siobhan OHara from the Teenage Cancer Trust wrote:

    WOW, were delighted to hear how well Bannerman have done once again. Your school has beenunbelievably supportive over the last few years so thank you all once again for thinking of us. I can'tbelieve that this massive sum was the work of the 1st years. That's such an achievement

    Massive congratulations to all the S1 pupils who took part. The money raised will make a massivedifference to teenage cancer sufferers in the West of Scotland.

    Digital Dragons

    !

    We have been involved in a digital competition run by John Campbell, the head of an onlinecompany, Spider Online, who designs websites for companies. He runs the competition DigitalDragons to give young people in Glasgow schools a chance of investigating the business world. I(Haris Malik), Hamza Ahmad, Callum Clark, Aidan Coulter and Ryan Anderson entered thiscompetition representing Bannerman High School.

    Our idea was an app that can identify a company or organisation by scanning the logo. Once thecompany is identified, the user will be given two choices. The first choice is the ability to bring up a

    factfile (Wikipedia) page on the company/organisation/brand. The second option is the ability todisplay a list of products by that company, and when the user selects a product, the app will be ableto direct them to the nearest shop that sells that product. This is just a rough summary.

    We had a few meetings with Gary Condie, Employability and Enterprise Manager, and JohnCampbell before hand. These were our mentoring sessions. In these, we were able to discuss ourideas with John and get some advice for our idea and our final presentation.

    We had our final presentation on the 30th April 2013. It was held in the City Chambers and theprize for the winning team was Nexus 7 tablets each. There were six schools in total and we each

    had to go in one after another to present our ideas to a panel of three judges. We had time to goover our scripts before the final presentation and work out how our presentation would be run.When we were up, the nerves started to kick in, but we managed to keep it together and gothrough our presentation. I feel our presentation went very well and this was a great experience.

    Pom Cheer Dance Champions

    I started dancing when I was three years of age. I doTap, Ballet, Modern, Highland, Hip Hop andCheerleading. With the cheerleading we compete invarious competitions throughout the country, taking partin the cheer dance based version called,Dance Pom .

    Pom is highly technical incorporating jumps, leapspirouettes, lift, kicks, and various other dance elements.The Poms being used to add visual effects and in tricks.

    We compete in team divisions, large or smalldepending on the size of the competing team.

    My cousin Fiona Kane and I first started competing as aduo in May last year at the BCA North East Classic British Championships, where we won first place in theJunior Pom Dance Division. This was an excellentachievement with very tough competition.Due to this success, we were entered into the highlycompetitive Scot Cheer 2, where winners would be

    awarded bids to the European Championships. A Bidis an invite meaning all competitors would need to bechampions or runners up in their respective divisions.

    Therefore only the top two out of every European country can compete at the EuropeanChampionships. This is only the second year that this competition has been running, beingpreviously held in Amsterdam. This year however, Glasgow is the host city, using the newEmirates Arena and we are very excited and proud to be representing Scotland and our team

    Xplosion.

    We will be competing against 34 other European countries, so we have been training very hardto improve on our previous performances. In every competition we have entered we havefinished in the top two. We work very well together, both having different strengths and bringdifferent qualities to the routine. We are great friends and this has been a fantastic experienceto share. Although it has been very hard work, it is a great sport to take part in. We absolutelylove it and have found it to be very rewarding.

    The European Championships will be extremely tough, as we will be competing against the best

    Duos in Europe. However getting to this competition is a massive achievement in itself, but weare determined to work hard and do the best we can, and are very proud no matter what.

    On Monday 10th June 8 pupils from Bannerman High School took part in the annual GlasgowSchools Adventure Race at Blairvadoch Outdoor Education Centre. This is a multi-discipline crosscountry race involving running 5 km, mountain biking 5km, canoeing 3 km, zip-lining, high wirewalking, a brain teaser task and orienteering.

    The team is primarily made up of S5 students some of whom are involved in Morocco 2013(Andrew Barclay, Cameron and Craig Smith) and Malawi leaders of learning (Blair Davidsonand Cameron Quinn). The rest of the team consisted of Joshua How, Callum Drummond and ScottCunningham who joined to help out their friends and because they enjoy the activities that wereinvolved.

    The race started off with a short run to the first challenge, a high wire walk between two trees.You had a time limit of 30 minutes to put on the climbing gear, do the high wire challenge asmany times as you could and then leave the climbing gear as you found it before the time wasup. The more times you complete the challenge the more time was taken off your final race time.As soon as the 30 minutes was announced it was a 100m race to the canoe challenge.

    The first of two water based challenge was a 3 km canoe across the Gare loch. Awaiting them onthe other side of the loch was supposed to be 2 substitutions, ready to swap over but as the teamdid the canoe challenge so fast the mini-bus was not there in time. The canoe team had thereforealready started on the third challenge, a 5 km run. The run is broken up into two sections as after2 km they have to complete a zip-line across a disused quarry.

    11/26

    The run finished at an old scout hut where thesubstitutions were waiting for the next challenge, a5 km mountain bike section through wood landand very rough terrain. The bike challenge endedat the edge of Gare Loch where they would use 2substitutions and begin the next challenge, a 5 kmkayak back to the Blairvadoch centre. Once the

    kayaks were beached at the centre they had torun to the next challenge, a brain teaser wherethey had to move a ball from the start point to theend point using only the tubes and pipesavailable. Sounds simple right! Again the moretimes you complete the challenge the more timewas taken off your final race time.

    Finally the orienteering challenge, where they hadto run off in at least groups of 2 to find the

    markers and report back to their guide. Oncecomplete it was then a final run to the finish line.We will not know how good our time is until allother schools have competed. The winners andfinal times will be announced at an awardsceremony on Monday 17th June.

    Straight after the race I asked the team if theywould do it again and they all replied with a veryenthusiastic DEFINITELY!

    Well done team!

    Patrick Ness Visit

    On Tuesday 16th April a group of S2-S4 pupils went to the Mitchell Library to take

    part in an author session by renowned author Patrick Ness.

    Patrick is the author of The Chaos Walking Trilogy. The trilogy has been extremelysuccessful for Patrick and the first title in his trilogy, The Knife of Never Letting Go, iscurrently being made into a film. He spoke to the pupils about how and why hestarted writing and the process he goes through in order to create characters andstories. His talk was very inspirational and a lot of pupils went home with some verygood ideas, not to mention some of his books!

    Legends V Teachers

    10 years ago the Bannerman Senior Football Team won the Lanarkshire League Title in May 2003.Many of the players from the team have younger siblings who are at Bannerman today. This led tothe news being heard about the success of the S3 Scottish and British Cup triumph and the SeniorsCameronian Cup victory. During our 10 year re-union night out I suggested that we arrange a

    Legends v Seniors Football Match to mark the success of past and present teams.

    The build up to the match was excellent with both teams secretly confident. Both teams played somegreat football and showed a fantastic team spirit and sportsmanship. The Seniors took the leadthrough a well worked team goal put in the net by Connor Brannigan. At the end of the first halfthe Legends equalised with a wonder strike by Graham Coutts (Cookie). After a short half timebreak both teams came out flying. Captain of the Legends team Steven McGlinchey put the ball inthe net to make it 2-1 before a lovely chipped finish from Johnny Forrest made it 2-2. The Seniorsplayed some nice football and another 2 goals from Connor Brannigan put the seniors 4-2 up.Steven McGlinchey then pulled one back late on to make it 4-3 setting up an exciting final. With the

    Legends pushing for the equalised. I was fouled just outside the box. Several players in theLegends team had tried to score into Stephen Thomson from a free kick but no one had come close.Then up stepped the goalkeeper for the Legends Chris Smith. Stephen organised his wall anddefence as Chris placed the ball however they could not prevent the outcome. As Chris so often didfor the Legends on our way to lifting the League Trophy 10 years ago he fired a left footed rocketinto the top corner of the net making it 4-4 and sending the game to penalties. Penalties were tensewith both teams scoring their first 5. In sudden death the Seniors scored putting extra pressure onthe next taker for the Legends team. Martin Dunnery ran up and laced his penalty past the poststarting the celebrations of the Senior team. The match finished 4-4 (Seniors winning 6-5 onpenalties.

    The Seniors were congratulated and presented with the Super Cup before a team photo was taken.The match was a great success and was a brilliant way to recognise the achievements of bothteams.

    Aim High

    Dame Eilish Angiolini recently visited Bannerman with our MP Margaret Curran,and Dr Ann Mullen, senior tutor and admissions tutor at St Annes College,Oxford.

    The event was the brainchild of Margaret Curran who was keen to present the

    possibility of Oxford to east end schools. Bannerman therefore hosted the event,with young people from St Andrews and Eastbank joining us for the occasion.

    Dame Eilish, principal of St Hughs College, inspired the audience to aim high,recounting her own story of rising from her roots as the daughter of a Govancoalman who went on to hold the highest legal position in Scotland. She said:

    Everything I have achieved in life, very often came around someone saying

    thats not really for you.

    Dame Eilish and Dr Mullen certainly demystified the towers and spires of Oxfordfor the young people.
