In the last week before the change of timetable, groups took part in activities all over the country and beyond.
North Berwick
A group of pupils went to North Berwick beach on the 26th of May 2009. We played games such as Musselburgh’s Got Talent, rounders, and sand castle making with 3 teachers - Miss McSherry, Mr Duff And Mrs Fruish.

Thursday is World Numbers Day. There are lots of posters up and around the school to help you solve various puzzles. If you can’t find all the posters then you can view them in the presentation below. You might need to click on the ‘view in slideshare’ button and then view the posters in full screen mode.
To help celebrate World Numeracy Day students at MGS have been asked to solve number puzzles around the school.
Every subject department has set a puzzle that help you fill in your number grid (issued at registration).
You will need the following information to find the number that should go in ‘box 18’. Good Luck.
Congratulations to four of our 3rd year pupils who took part in the Finals of the Enterprising Maths Competition in Glasgow last Thursday. The competition was held in the Jordanhill Campus of the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, and our team were competing against around 50 other schools from all over Scotland.
They participated in five different rounds to test their mathematical as well as logic and problem solving ability. Some of these activities included using teamwork to construct a complicated “multi-zonal ball”, a speed challenge where they had 5 minutes to complete tasks at seven stations in turn, a “head to head” challenge which involved competing with other schools on logic games and last but not least - the famous relay round where they had to be fast on their feet to complete as many questions as possible.
The day was a huge success and enjoyed by all. Our four pupils were proud to bring back an engraved glass trophy and goody bags to celebrate their success.

Well done to Michael Heneghan who has been succesful in gaining a two year scholarship within the Arkwright Foundation.
Michael had to sit both a written examination and attend a gruelling interview, where he completed a presentation based around his work within the CDT department last year.
More information about the foundation can be found at the following: www.arkwright.org.uk
Here is a photograph of Michael receiving his certificate at the ceremony in London last month.
