Welcome Back! 

The first day back after all the Christmas excess is always the toughest.

But, the nights are getting lighter and the February holiday is just a few weeks away!

This term really is the make or break time in terms of serious Higher Modern Studies work.

Glasgow Youth Film Festival

We are delighted that our film Wealth and Health Inequalities in Glasgow, which features pupils from Bearsden Academy, Drumchapel High School and St Andrew's Secondary is to be shown as part of the 2009 Glasgow Youth Film Festival.

The screening will take place at Platform in Easterhouse on Monday 9 February 2009 at 10.30am.

Frank McAveety, MSP for Glasgow Shettleston, will be in attendance to answer questions relating to the film and other issues relating to wealth and health inequalities.

The two previous showings of the film, at the Edinburgh Filmhouse and Glasgow Film Theatre, were booked up within days, so please contact the organisers of the film festival asap if you would like to attend.

The event is free to pupils from Glasgow City Council schools and £2 per pupil for schools/colleges from outside of Glasgow City Council.

Please check out sample pages of Modern UK Social Issues.
