Ever since we moved into the new school and first saw the outdoor servery hatch, we have referred to it as the McDonalds hatch. I said back then that before I left I would drive my car in to it. My ambition was finally fulfilled yesterday. Barrhead High - I'm still loving it!

In a day when our Technology teachers were providing more visors for frontline workers - another 180+ going out - I was really excited to hear of another of our staff-Mrs Merrick-making scrubs for the workers. Barrhead High kitting them from head to toe - fantastic effort Mrs M !
Catriona volunteering her sewing skills🧵 ✂️ to transform donations of material into scrubs for our brave NHS frontline workers 👏👏👏.
Many will exit lockdown having learned a new skill, but mine might not be sewing, even with such a terrific teacher.
