Blytheswood Care Shoebox Appeal 2014 - 21st Anniversary!

Once again, with the help from our friends and colleagues, we are bringing hope and joy to many people living in poverty.

Through donations of shoeboxes, empty or filled and items to make up these boxes, plus donations of money to buy for additional items we have collected the incredible amount of 65 full boxes.

As Christmas is not all about receiving, it’s so nice to think that we will be bringing a smile to these people’s faces.

Cinema Trip - “Le Havre” at the Institute Français

On 2nd December, a group of senior pupils from Currie Community High School together with two of their French teachers and the French assistant went to the French Institute for a free screening of “Le Havre”, set in the French port city of the title.

We all enjoyed this simple yet beautiful film in which ordinary people do extraordinary things. We also enjoyed the atmospheric “ambiance” of the Institute’s Theatre Room and the warm welcome of the Reception desk staff.

It was a great experience for our pupils who were very touched by this heart-wrenching comedy-drama and discovered a small bit of movie magic, a story that plays more as a fable even as it deals with something as topical as immigration but going beyond it and touching deeper issues such as the human capacity for loyalty, decency and even love.
