S2 Fair Trade “Snack Attack” – Design Challenge 2013

All S2 pupils took part in this year’s ‘Traidcraft Snack Attack Challenge’. They divided into enterprise groups and went on to create a healthy, fair trade snack in Health & Food Technology before designing appropriate packaging and marketing campaigns in Art & Design. There were some very interesting inventions but the winners of the CCHS competition were Samantha Ovenstone, Eilidh MacFarlane and Ciara Simms. Their “Cubix” product (fruity, crispy cubes) was chosen to represent the school and was delivered to Traidcraft headquarters in London. The product, although commended, did not beat the stiff competition to become a national winner. Well done to all of S2 for their creativity and hard work on this year’s A&D and HFT fair trade challenge!

Scholastic Book Fair in the Learning Resource Centre April 22nd to April 26th

£402 worth of books were sold at the book fair held in Currie Community High School! 40% commission meant that Currie Community High School received £160 worth of free books. Pupils helped out and made sure that the fair ran smoothly! There was a great buzz about the LRC with lots of book – related conversations going on. Thank you to all the parents and pupils who supported this and made this fantastic result possible.
