Im in Primary 7 and I can't wait to come to Hillhead High (Stella - Garnetbank Primary School)

Hi everyone. The former pupils of the year which began in Hillhead Primary in 1949 and left 6th Form in 1962 have created an e-mail group which now has 42 members. Anyone from this year 'cohort', or any teachers from this era, wishing to be in contact with us just Google my name and 'WAVE Trust' to find my contact details. We had a first reunion in Glasgow in 2009, which was brilliant (photographs available) and are planning another on Friday 4th June 2010 - George Hosking

hey i just moved into s1 and im starting to love it, even the lunches are delicious!

May I take this public opportunity to thank all the people who have wished me well on my retirement from Hillhead High School. I have enjoyed so many fantastic times here and have had the pleasure of working with so many wonderful pupils, parents, staff and members of Hughenden over the years.
I shall continue to be interested in the progress of the school and of the pupils, both past and present, with whom I have worked.
I send you my sincere thanks and best wishes for the future - working at Hillhead has been a pleasure.

Hey everyone thought that i would leave a wee comment as i saw loadz of comments up. Cant believe that its been 5 years since i left school :O. Hope everyone in my year are all doing well. And hope all the teachers that taught me throughout the time that i was at hillhead are all well :) xx

I attended HHS between 1948 and 1950. I have fond memories of Dr Merry, and Joe Cunningham the physics teacher. I was in the 1st XV with Archie Neil, John McGregor Callum Chisholm and Alan Edga a great team!

Well it's been quite a while since I left Hillhead but must admit I wish I was still at school.

Nice to see it's still going well.

Hi to all the teachers that put up with me over the years haha!!

xx

Hey Hillhead!
Long time since I've not visited this school...
I'd been at the school for about a year in s3 at 2004/05, but can still remember my lovely friends from my year-
Racheal, Emma, Hasna, Sara, Katlina!
Plz contact me if you see this message, would love to hear from you people again!

It's Aswad. I have finished my first year of University and have sucessfully passed all my exams. I thank this school for giving me the ability to obtain further education. I also like to thank my teachers that have supported me all the way from school.

I have very happy memories of HHS. It only seems like yesterday.......well maybe a few years ago! If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Well maybe I would have spent more time studying homework instead of Mr Dalrymple :-)
HHS made me who I am today and for that I am very grateful.

Hi guys :) ! Our P7 is currently having the high school visits, and most of our primary school went to check out Hillhead. it seems like a great school and you have great equipment. :P can't wait to start going there as a S1 and not P7.

best wishes

Hi, just thought I'd pass on my best wishes to Mr Dalyrmple and co, who are retiring this year after a wee bird told me! Hope you are all well! :D

I have really enjoyed ma first year in hillhead high and i will be moving into to second year very soon lol

hi everybody i missed you all ,,,teachers friends and school,to all my old friends here is my e_mail khawla.gamudi@gmail.com

Hi ALL, i went to HHS from 1988-1992 and if i knew then what i know now,i prob would be better off!!!!!! anyway i remember Mr Campbell, Mr Merrilees,Mr craig and the pope mobile lol Mr Darlymple,Mr Smith and the lovely Miss Aitchison who taught me in Office Information Studies(i think i was the only male in that class,i wonder why),i remember the freezing corridors,the tannoy system which was a pain in the rear. i remember bumping into my old French teacher in a city pub,he wasnt amused!!!!!! went to France with the school circa 1990,memeries eh,ye canny whack it,fridays to the Kelvin Hall to play 5s or if you were unlucky i got Curling with Mr Kinloch(he wasnt that bad a guy),anyway,all pupils,get the head down do well and enjoy learning,you wont get a better chance at it in life than Hillhead High School.

Im looking for some information regarding the school trip we went to 16th June 1990. Fantastic trip apart from the bus breaking down enroute and on way home lol. mr dalrymple went with us so he had us down on the beach at 7am every day,and i won the tote for the first goalscorer in Brazil v Scotland game and i was hunting high and low on the coach looking for a yellow card with 15 written on it,won 90francs i believe.

Hi just like to say how much I miss Hillhead High. Everytime I had an essay to do for University I remembered just how much I hated doing English essays at 6th year. Now when a compare my work at school 2 university, it's like butter and knife. I'm greatful 2 my English teacher who helped me pass Higher English with a C. I'm also thankful 2 Mr Wilson who gave me support for Maths in 5th year and 6th, he helped me 2 get an A at the end of the day even though I failed in 5th year. I like 2 thank everyone who helped me in school and gave me encouragement during my 5 years at school. I still wouldn't forget about Discovering Glasgow and my trip to Alton Towers. I really miss Hillhead and also think about the good old days whenever I'm stressed from my University coursework but do find university an enjoying experience and freedom.

There are so many comments, I don't really know where to start.
Despite absolutely loving school, I didn't achieve very much - well, on the academic side anyway.
1978-1985 - awesome!!
25 of us sang with ABBA in the Apollo theatre, Glasgow (I have a dream-1978). Mrs McLellan was brilliant, aided magnificently by Mr Fulton on putting together a number of school musicals. I took part in 4 including Guys and Dolls, Finian's Rainbow, Brigadoon and Irene. The last of which I played an efeminate dress maker called Madame Lucy!!!
This was shortly after winning 2 Scottish Schools rugby Caps!! Mr Dalrymple went above and beyond the call of duty, in support and encouragement for me and I will never ever forget that.
I was so proud to be nominated School Captain and am probably to this day, the least academic Captain in the history of the school!!
I still see a number of friends and school mates at regular and irregular intervals and it always makes me very happy to lose myself in memories of Hillhead High School.
This is the first time I have ever been on the website, so I wanted to post a message.
Keep dreaming and best wishes to all

Wow! is all I can think while looking through the recent news pages. I see that there is still a power of work going on in and out of school! Well done. I'm very proud of the pupils I knew whilst working there - seeing you in the Seniors Ball and in the Eid & Diwali and in the Fairtrade photos - puts a smile on my face. :-) Mr McC.

Hi folks
Been ages since I've been on here left school about 5 yrs now,but feels ten times longer. Hope all the teachers from those days are doing good especially the History ones like the Mr Campbell's.
Glad to see hillhead still doing there bit for charity!!! bbbbyyyyeee x x x

Glad to see Hillhead has been hitting the headlines on account of the hard working pupils and staff. Well done!
The site is looking good too, so congratulations to whoever has been putting in the extra hours! :-) from Mr McC.

Hello i can rememeber going to school i used to be in 1g i now want to meet up with my friends.If you know me please contact me.

I'm an ex-student, graduated Hillhead High in June 1987, look forward to hearing from anyone who remembers me.
I remember Mr Dalrymple, math teacher and guidance councillor.
Others who I had I'm not sure if they still teach there, Mr Hawkins, Mr Booth, Mr Cairns, Mr Wilson. Look forward to hearing from you :)

Hi there,
I'm organising a Hillhead High School reunion for all those students that went here in the 80s. I went 1982-1988. I have already set up the group on facebook. Please look it up or email me if you want to attend or help me organise it. The date is Saturday 27 June 2009. Venue tbc but will be in the West End. I am in the process of contacting all the teachers from that time, I know some still teach at HHS. If you are a teacher please contact me. I was the "Prince" fanatic who wore purple instead of the navy blue uniform. Our Headmaster was Mr Craig. Teachers at that time were Mr Campbell (of course), Mr Fulton, Mr Dalrymple, Mr Evans, Miss Hamilton, Miss Molloy, Mrs Mclennan, Miss Spicer, Ms Anderson, Mr Hawkins, Mr McLaren, Mr McLure, Miss Barr, Miss Templeman, Mr Goodall, Mr Fraser, Miss Millar, Miss Small, Mr McKinlay, Miss Hutcheson, Mrs MacSween etc etc. Would be great to see you all again and the facebook group has got everyone buzzing and chatting about old times (20 years back!!!) Thank you so much in advance.

Hello Hillhead High,
Growing up in the west end I had a very close friend Neil McConnel, who lived on Sanda St, just off Clouston St (where I was born). We both attended the 96th Sea Scouts and Shakespeare Primary School. I went to North kelvinside Senior and Neil joined HH. He went on to University, doing I think biology. I last saw him in Glasgow late 1980's; he had been working for Hospital by Anniesland, married and lived in Alexandria. Anyone out got contact info, appreciate it. Ken -Juneau, Alaska.

glad to see the basketball team doing so well,i was a guard in Mr Campbell's first team1 keep it up sir you are awesome!

I was at HHS first in Cecil Street and in Oakfield Avenue 1946 to 1950. I have worked in Scotland, South Africa and in Australia for the past 36 years. very interested to see this page although cannot identify any familiar names. Living in Sydney, I frequently pass Crown Street school, which I belive has some association with HHS.

H H S Ladies Dinner was held on Saturday 4 October '08 at the Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor Hotel
It was attended by 75 former Ladies of Hillhead
It was good to have your head girl with us along with last year's head girl and deputy head
Also we had two young ladies from previous years
A report and photos will be added shortly on the Former Pupils page
Our guest speaker was ex Hillhead boy Iain Guthrie Lockhart who proposed the toast to the school and the reply was by his wife Mrs June Lockhart, altho' she went to school in Aberdeen she joined H H S Club on coming to Glasgow to train as a teacher .She played hockey,tennis & squash. A very interesting and funny report was given by both guests
The attention and meal we had was wonderful and a great time was had by all
Next dinner will be Saturday 2 October 2010....please think about joining us 'Ladies' , bringing new blood and ideas
Thank you

Alrighty folks,

I was thrilled to see this website it brought back good memories and yes I've seen Mable Wong on come dine with me - she did really well.

It's nice to have a school website, you can stay informed about what's going on in school after you have finished,
and you can update yourself.

my school went to Hillhead for two days and the school is bigger than I thought. Can't wait to start high school

Hey guys,

Did anyone see Mable Wong on Come Dine With Me!? She didn't win,but she did well! You go girl!

Hi, well I left in 5th year, at the beginning but I really miss the place lol never thought I would. Don't see any of you any more well except my little pal Lauren James lol she's still as daft as ever. Well really don't know what to say apart from I wish I was still at school. Best times ever.

Just back for a visit since I'm supposed to be revising
Sitting my finals starting next week - computer science at Strathclyde! (can't wait 'til its over but then I'll miss it like this place).
So I hear you guys have a recording studio in the music department now? sick! i would have loved that.
I'll need to come for a visit some time after I graduate to find some former teachers of mine to brag to! (some will be proud, others suprised!!!)
Anyone who was in 2E-6E (we were the worst behaved class) may remember me, I think I left in 2004.
Good to see a few familiar names - too many people have disappeared - Brian Noble, Robert McEwan to name a couple.
I have some sad news - Unfortunately my good friend Jamal Ahmed passed away late last year - a tradegy for a 21 year old with his whole life ahead of him. His friends and family sorely miss him.
Wow, I've wrote alot. Back to the red bull and revision.
Sami

I went to HHS from 1978 - 1982.

I am starting Hillhead High soon and I can't wait.

I think Hillhead High is brilliant and I am looking forward to going there

I really miss this school and all the fantastic teachers.Thank you hillhead for the best years of my life.

HILLHEAD ROKZ! I've only been here since August & I've made a very good impression on the Teachers. Hillhead is the best school I've been to.

My school Kelvinhaugh primary went to Hillhead high for a six week visit. My whole class enjoyed it very much. When we first saw the size of the building it looked scary compared to our small school, but after a couple of weeks we all got used to it and it didnt seem so scary after all. Can't wait to start high school after the summer holidays.

Stumbled on this site by chance, good to see all the good comments about Hillhead, Proud to have been part of the school! Keep it up!

I left this school in 1953 when I came to Canada. It was a tough school and I would not like to go through it again.

I was a student in this school and it was the best school ever. I miss the Hillhead so much.

i think we should have a pyjama day that would be good and we could do it for another charity

I was thrilled when I saw this site as i was a former student of Hillhead High.

I just want to say i think the school rocks. I am a first year by the way!

It has been nearly two years now since I left the school and how times change!! I am now a Commissioned Officer and Qualified Helicopter Pilot within the Royal Air Force and I have just returned from my third tour,1 Afghanistan and 2 Iraq!! I really miss the school and the staff as they say school really is the best days of your life and how true it is! But none of this would possible if there wasnt the great people and great staff at Hillhead High School so thanks guys c ya in the near future hopefully!

Merhaba,

I have to admit that l miss school, l know it might sound stupid, but when you finish 6th year, thats you, finished, can't go back, even if you wanted too. Hope all the teachers are fine and well. Take care everybody

I always asked Mr.I Campbell - How are you Sir? Mr. I Campbell's answer (always be) : "Not bad for my age".
Now ,again l'm asking: "How are you Sir?"
I really miss my history class, and how Mr.I Campbell got angry when l wasn't listening to "How Britain became more democratic or the Rise of Hitler". Now, l wish l was in that class listening to Mr.I Campbell, and him getting angry at the pupils or even me :)

Take care everybody :)

Hello everyone.

I was studying for a uni exam (3rd year, strathclyde) looking at wikipedia and i ended up on hillhead's page, then on to this website. great idea.

thinking back, school days are really some of the best of your life, so all you youngsters reading this try and enjoy it while it lasts.

I hope all the old staff i remember are doing ok, i used to be a right trouble maker, and looking back im thankfull that they were all patient with me as im all grown up now (just turned 21) and in a years time i will be sitting my finals (computer science).

ah well i should get back to my exam revision, enough procrastinating (wasting time putting off what needs to be done!)

Sami

The Y.E.S. (Young Enterprise Scotland) Summer Buisness School was alright. Me and two others won MP3 players! We went to a whiskey factory and got free gifts. Unfortunatley we did not get free samples.
Glad you enjoyed it. Probably just as well you didn't get samples - it would have been a short week if you had! WM

Hi there, i was a student at woodside secondary. I know that many of the teachers went over to hillhead so am just wondering if it is possible to contact Miss Kempston, Mr Edwards, Miss Robertson, Mr Purves, Mr McHArdy, Mr Douglas. We didn't realise or appreciate it then, but these teachers helped who we are today so would be wonderful to here from them all.
Please provide your name and contact email, and your message can be forwarded on. WM

Hello everyone i just wanted to wish all the 6th years the best of luck. I have liked being a pupil of Hillhead and have made loads of good friends. Have a nice summer

I hope Hillhead hold a boxing tournament for the 5th and 6th years. So you can win a prize and it would be so COOL!
Not likely. WM

I think that Hillhead is a FANTASTIC! school and I hope that everyone that goes to it in the future enjoys it too.

Hi everyone just wanted to say good luck in Italy, 2 weeks!!!

Hey all, just thought I'd add a comment since others have too. Well I think there should be music played at lunchtime etc . I love the school its made me feel welcome and the teachers are koolio ...(well most of them). I love music, there is a great amount of choice. Thanks Hillhead you rock.

Exams are finished, wooh! Just want to say, good luck to Isa and Hannah on their trip to India. Hope everything goes well, and my exam results which I'll get soon lol

Hey everyone! wow what a blast from the past eh old Hillhead is still alive and kicking never gave it a thought. Well I'm not the ned I used to be, that's for sure. Landed in a pretty cushy wee job within the department for work and pensions in Pitt Street ,Glasgow. It's weird, I never thought of my self as an office chick! ah well at least I have a pension lol! Always something to fall back on lol! I don't even know what teachers are still there or if you would like to remember Zara the distactor in the class. If you know me or have heard of me drop me a line - my email is below. Peace out and remember stick in at school kids!!!! your exams mean all!!!! zara_hehehe2000@yahoo.co.uk

The show was brilliant ! Well done to everybody involved in it.

Hi
Bugsy Malone was Brilliant. Well done to all the cast. We were all Fab. Can't wait until next years show. Now I am off to Italy, Drama Queen

In trying to find out about the school, it remains unclear from the website whether any European languages are taught in the school. It is just a suggestion but a full list of subjects available would be appreciated by prospective parents. Thanks.

Hi everybody

Hullo all! Just having a wee browse at my old haunt! Hope everyone at "Hullheed" is well - big mentions to the staff & the current crop of pupils. I've managed to buck up my ideas and I'm now a big-bad raydeeoh DJ at Q96 FM... get yourself tuned in Sat & Sunday nights! I'm also heading off to Lloret de Mar in Spain all summer to spin some records, so Mrs Maitland, I'll send you a postcard... that is all!! Adios :)

Hi, me again!!

See ya!! xxx

Hey everyone!!!
This is actually the first time I've been on this site and the comments are pretty cool, so I thought I would add to the list...
Just wanted to wish everybody who is taking part in this years school show, Bugsy Malone, good luck!! For those of you who haven't performed in a school show before, it's a great night and, even though the rehearsals are a bit tense, the final shows are a great experience. And they're a good laugh!!! So, enjoy yourselves!!!
Big hello to all my friends, Kirsty, Kara, Sasha, Nadia, Ruth, Alex, Daniel, Andy, Brian, Paddy, Samin, Hala, Lee, Mick, Jonny and anyone else I've forgotten to write...sorry!

Hello
I knew quite a few people from Hillhead when I lived in Glasgow. Now I live in the states just checkin' up on all my old schools.

I feel as though that sending pupils home for not having their uniform on is a great idea, and to all of my mates I will be leaving at the end of 5th year.

I was just looking over all my comments in the guestbook they're really embarrassing! anyway... halfway through s2 and option choices are looming! good luck to everyone deciding at the moment. bye x

hiya everyone! just wanted to say that i am finally going to see the new building after waiting 6 years! really looking forward to it! and if anyone remembers me from 96 - 00 please get in touch!! Dazzafaulds@hotmail.co.uk!!
hope to hear from u soon!!

just wondering if there was any chance of the webmaster putting some pictures from old yearbooks on the site,ideally from the years 1995-2000.it would be good to see all the old class photos and school disco photos again.i know this may require a lot of time and work but i am sure it would bring a few smiles to a lot of former pupils!

hey hey hey!! long time no see people!! I rememeber when I was a first year..... so long ago!! Now I'm all grown up and getting married next year ... I thought school was the best time of my life (I only left in 2003!!) but I will always member it and love!! Gavin says hi. Hi to Mr C L Campbell and thanks for all he did for me Hi to Paula , Elizabeth and Frank and Duncan and Angus and especially .. my best friend ever Thomas !!! MISS YOU ALL LOTS !! Hillhead rocks! bye! & wish me luck!! xXx Melissa

Hiya guys, missin' you loads!!!!!!
York is brilliant :D -not that Glasgow isn't
comin to see you soon
luv sarah d

I go to hillhead high and this is the first time I have been on the site and I really quite like It! Also My favourite class is English!

Its interesting to see a pic of the school. It is as I left it in 1964 to go to Africa (apart from the enclosed corridors). When did the blazer disappear from the uniforms? Is discipline as strong as it was when I was there? In November 1964 in one day I received 2 belts from Josh 8.5 the maths teacher, 2 from "Tommy" Steele the French teacher and 2 from Mr Campbell in History class. Rather a painful day!!!!! Brilliant to visit the website. God bless.

I posted a comment earlier about a couple of beltings I got back in '64 but I remember that I missed one out. That was one I received from "The Sheriff" in History class making a grand total of 7 "o' the best" in one day!! Ouch!

I was in Hillhead 1991-1997 remember you Danny Heaney and a few others, Sandra Marshall if you're the same person. I was definetly the best to come out of there and feel the most famous to say the least. Miss you all so much ain't sure about the new decor and never thought a website imaginable. Now on the internet at tentomidnight@hotmail.co.uk so DANNY! just remember I'm number one right! my patter AIN'T changed...

Well well, I can't believe it's been nearly 3 years since I left the auld place, missin' it big time...how time flies! In second year now at Strathclyde doing sports science, luvvin it ... Hello to all my friends from classes 1E-5E, and everyone else too - we don't see each other enough! time for a night out it seems! Greetings to all the fab staff - Mrs Maitland, Mrs McGhee, Mr Mclennan, Mr Rennie, Mr Wilson, Mrs Milligan to name but a few, I'll be up to visit real soon! hope you are all well and have a fandabbydosie christmas! take care, Gillian Brand x x If anyone wants to get together for a blether super_gill@hotmail.com, give me a an email ... xx

Just a wee note to say the "Hillhead Hunks" 2006 calendar will be released on Tursday 8th December. Quantitys are low,so reserve one by speaking to Hannah Hamilton or Isa Benedetti and you will be added to the list and are guarenteed to recieve one.All money raised will go directly to the charity FULCRUM where it will be used to fund the construction of primary schools, and supply thier materials, in the poorer regions of India. Great cause, remember and bring in the money!

I attended Hillhead Primary in the 60s and the High School in the 70s. I hear the primary school may be closing and would like one last look around. Does anyone know if they have an 'open day' or something similar? murdothemanse@yahoo.co.uk

Mr. H.G. "Bert" Radford a Hillhead alunmi from eons ago was last weekend elected the new President of Rugby Alberta the provincial association in Canada. There are 29 clubs in Alberta each fielding 5 or 6 teams so this is a large job of which we are confident he will do well.

how about having a section with all the Hillhead sporting achievements, past and present. it seems you only concentrate on the recent and not the past, I mean you had scottish champions there back in the day..... hmmmmm

I loved Hillhead High School.
I would like to say hello to Shannon, Katie, Claire, Jack, and Kate, Hannah, Elizabeth and some teachers including Miss Campell (Home Economics):If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have became a good sewer to have a job in Glasgow where I sew curtains. And also I would like to say sorry to Mr Baker (English): for failing English and one more apology to Miss Ross (Music) for failing music too.

Hi everyone! I used to go to this school a good few years back. Just like to say thank you for all your support! Since leaving, i have won 1st prize at the European Under 18 Weightlifting Championships, become a professional bodybuilder, went to Amsterdam where i worked as a Services Officer, and just recently i have joined a political party. I couldn't have done it without your support. Thank You!

very good very i would show more of the schools like different departments and pupils but overall good

i go to the school and i think that the web site represents the school very well xxx jod-i-
Nice of you to say! Thanks for visiting the website. WM

In reply to the Primary 7 kid, M, the school is great !
In 1st and 2nd Year, you go round all the classes, to see which ones you like the best. Then, in 3rd Year, you pick 7 or 8 (I think it was 8!) subjects that you like the best, and you study them for two years.
Hope this helps. If you need more information, just e-mail the website.
Just to add a bit to the above. In S1 and S2 you get a broad education. At the end of S2, you make a choice of subjects based on ability as well as thinking about your future career. S3 and S4 is spent working towards Standard Grade Exams and Folios. How well you do at this stage will determine what you can enter in S5 and S6. From Webmaster.

Hello everyone!

I would like to say couple of things about Hillhead High school! I'm one of Hillhead High school's Star Pupil. Also a Prefect : ) I think that Hillhead High School is very Good Place to be, the teachers are kind, friendly the pupils are nice too. No matter what the News papers say about Hillhead High School, we all the Staff Teachers and the Pupils know that Hillhead High is very Good School as we can see in the web-site, our achievements, and success. So when the news papers produce article about Hillhead High School l think they should research before writing !
Many Thanks.

This needs to be updated; you have messages from 2002!
Thanks to all the teachers who helped me through to the exams. Later...
Thanks. It makes for a good read. Sometimes. WM

Hey peeps. Just saying 'hey' to the guys and gals that were in my year at school. Long time since I was there mind you. Just wonderin' what all you people are up to now? See ya.

Hello,
Just to say this years show will ROCK!!!
Plus I can't wait to choose my subjects but why do we have to pick a science? I want to be a lawyer and why will I need to know the Periodic Table if I'm a lawyer?
You will need to have a breadth of knowledge to be a lawyer - not just knowledge of law. Prove you are able by doing the best you can in each subject on your timetable. No-one can fault you for that. To start with, what is the symbol on the periodic chart for Iron? :-) WM

anyone left who went to school with me?
email address supplied. WM

hey! well as you can tell by the name I left before I reached 5th yr! I guess I never tried as hard as I thought I could when I was at school! ,but I never actually took into consideration that this was my life ahead of me! I came out of school got my self a job as a sales assistant and then left there after a month and a half and went into Glasgow Met College, and am now doing travel and tourism. I'm loving it but we have to include maths and english as well! but hey life's full of surprises!
Well I hope you 1st years and the rest of you all have a great time in your years of high school, I really do hope the best for you and that you can achieve more than i did!
my marks for english were a 3
maths 6(foundy) lol :p
geog was a 4
admin 3
I only sat 4 -don't ask! lol that's what i mean by STICK IN!!!!

Hello! I'm a primary school teacher in a Romanian middle school located in the city of Târgu-Mures, central Transylvania. We also have a schools.ik.com website and we'd be delighted to exchange opinions about school stuff. Please visit us at www.ggcosbuc.ik.org and leave a comment in our Forum page. Thank you!

Just to say it's been ten years since I left Hillhead. At the time i didn't look back fondly as I had to deal with some pretty bad bullying at school. But looking back all the staff did what they had to do and it was hard for them. If you are on the recieving end of any kind of bullying please please tell someone. DO NOT suffer like I did. thanks

I am thrilled to see HHS has its own website and is still alive and kicking. I was at Hillhead from 1972 - 76 and they were some of the best years of my life. I have wonderful memories of HHS, students and teachers. I now live in Toronto, Canada but happen to be here in Glasgow on holiday.

Hi to all former students at HHS. To the current pupils, I hope you love the school as much as I did!!

just to say that my first year at hillhead was really amazing and the france&germany trip was really good, and the london trip was fantastic too. so far music is definitely my favourite subject (am i allowed to say that?!), closely followed with french. all my teachers have been really encouraging and friendly and i can't wait to go on into second year. big hello to everyone from the choir.

and techie's good too! :P

Just A Quick Message To Say To Everyone Enjoy Your Holidays, And To Everyone Who Has Left The School .. Good Luck With Life =D.. Bye x

Well hello there. Just thought that as I was Head Girl for the whole of last year I should perhaps write at least one comment in this guestbook. Most of you won't even know who I am, unless you were at prize giving and saw me try to make a speech at the end. Anyway, I've just finished my time at Hillhead and will miss all the people (staff and pupils) that I have met along the way. Good luck to all the 6th years who have left and to all the 4th and 5th years we have left behind... have a nice life! :P R xx

hey hhs!. Well that's me left school now, at 4th yr. My past couple of years have been great in hhs. thank-you for all the memories you have given me. And the encouragment of the teachers when I was gonna give up. Thanks for putting me back on my feet again, and helping me to complete 4th year. Big thank-you to Mr.Rennie who was my guidance teacher for my 1st few yrs at hhs, and to Mrs McGhee for being my guidance teacher in my last yr(s). For getting me through. Well good luck for people going into 4th year! and even ones who are just entering the school @ 1st year!. enjoy it! its gr8.
Well i better go!. Thanx again.

Hey. Just a wee message to say that the summer concert was amazing and that the shakespeare play was an outstanding achivement by the actors involved. Special mentions to the inspiring actress's that played the parts of Titania and Helena. They will go far no doubt. Fantastic.

Well, the time has come, I am no longer a pupil at Hillhead high school... I have had many laughs during my years here. I just want to say thanks to all my teachers and all my mates.

Well, the time has come, I am no longer a pupil at Hillhead high school... I have had many laughs during my years here and will not forget them. I want to wish the best of luck to the now former 6th years who are moving on to other things, being adults (hahah yeah right). I also want to thank all the teachers and staff who helped me throughout my years here (too many to mention). Well I'm off to party, but just a big thanks and good luck to everyone I know and love (don't forget to look me up on the former pupils page!!!) I will miss you and never forget you all.

Hey people,
Just wanted to say thanks to the music dept for the fab trip to London. Everyone had an immense time and it was a great way to say goodbye to Robin and Alan who are leaving us this year. Another thanks to the teachers for puting up with us over the years and for the many years to come. I'm doing higher next year (i hope) and I can't wait. Cheerz for everything so far. WHITEY!!!!!!

Rosa are you the gal from 1c????

Congratulations on a tremendous summer concert - the whole evening 's performance was brilliant and hugely enjoyable.

hey im in 2b at hillhead and i just wanted to say how good the school is!!

Hello,
I'm a third year pupil at Hillhead High School.
I just thought i'd congratulate the school on the spectacular performance at Interfest.

The musical talent shown in interfest and the Summer School Show was amazing, well done everyone who took part!

as promised, I thought I'd post just to say how amazing I thought the summer concert was. Favourite part has to be Shakespeare piece, it was great, and really nice to see new faces getting involved. Well Done All :)

I would like to send my best wishes to all S4 pupils who are leaving school at this time. I also hope that all S4 pupils achieve satisfactory grades when the SQA results arrive in August.

I like the way you have welcomed people on to the web site, and the way you have addressed yourselves. I will enjoy my time in Hillhead as I am joining on the 18th August this year as an s1 pupil.

Hi I'm a pupil at the school in fifth year, and it's a great school, it has so many options and extra activities. It's a place I've grown attached to and I hope others have too.

see ya

chaz

also! Come to the interfest concert and the summer one you'll enjoy it, and get to see how the quality at Hillhead is still high.

>>Details on the News page. WM.

I was at Hillhead from 1948 to 1950, having been imported from the wilds of Banffshire. It really was a culture shock!
Dr Merry, the Headmaster asked Archie Neil to be my 'buddy' for the first few days. Memories crowd in of 'Speedy' Easson, 'Pinty' McNeil, Miss Calder and, in the sports Department, Mr McMaster and Jim Cessford who forced me to play rugby! Best wishes to all my former colleagues

hillhead is brill!
shout out to everyone in 1c !!!!!!!

Hillhead with their very own website?? My..times have moved on! Well nice to see it looking good all the same..although can't say much about the new school (yes, I am one of ye faithful open corridor fans). Anyhoo, hardly anyone will know who I am, but I left in 99 when I was in 4th Year...and I finished my last exam of my university degree just yesterday! I do pop in probably once a year, and am still sad that three particularly great teachers of mine, who gave me a lot of support and encouragement I so very much needed at the time, have passed away since I left. So, although I've only come upon this site purely by accident, I'd love to use it to pay tribute to the great Mr Gallagher (everyone's favourite football crazy cuddly maths teacher), the timeless Mr Booth whom so many decades of students will remember and appreciate, and of course the lovely Mrs Howie who always saw the best in me. Anyway, its almost 4am and I have an interview tomorrow, so ni' night and best wishes to y'all!...Aliah

Its over!!! Exams are finally over, and i think i did great!! Thanks to all the teachers that have helped me out over the past four years, and those unfortunate few that will have to deal with me for another two years...

Hello!
I`m one of the swedish studens thats gonna visit your school in September this year. It`s going to be fun to meet you all. Have a nice day! // Madeleine

Hi Guys, I've always wanted to give a big thank you to the best Biology teacher ever....Mr Bophal! You really made me enjoy Biology and I've never had the chance to tell you. I also want to thank you for all the extra tutoring you gave me in my final year at HHS. +Big shout out to Rosie D!!

I was thrilled to find my old alma mater on the web. I attended Cecil Street during the war years (2nd, i.e.) and remember being thrilled at being able to wear a skirt and blouse instead of a tunic (yes we did have to wear a uniform). I also remember being a member of MacDonald House. I immigrated to Canada in 1952. Would love to get in touch with anyone who was at Hillhead High between 1939 and 1949.

Buenos Dias,
Asim Ali 1998-2004. You know looking back on my 5 years (1 at woodside) at Hillhead, it's hard not to smile. I moved to Chester, came back, then got a job. Went to Indonesia with the red cross after the tusnami for a month. I'm scheduled to go to Ethiopia in about 2 months time, then it should go back to normal when I start A.I. engineering at University. It's a shame i've already lost touch with most the people from school...

Asim

VERY Impressed with this! I am obviously behind the pimes a little ... must sort that. Thanks for the inspiration though. ..

We like your web site

Too many people are interested in bringing the name of the school down it seems. I have seen first hand how many hard working and decent pupils there are here. All kinds of people with special talents. Makes me think the school need to get more of the good things on the News page. C'mon webmaster - what's keeping you ?

Hey hey hey to all my hillhead people! How is everyone? I didn't realise how many people use this website it's great. Well i'm just back from Vegas and New York, was great and i'm jetting of again to a place called hancock (300 miles from ny) to teach dancing at the french woods festival of performing arts for 9 weeks over the summer. i'm so excited by at the same time a little scared about spending so long away from home. i'm a wee mummy's girl and gonna miss her loads!! anyhow get in touch if you wanna chat my e-mails dancing_princess1702@hotmail.com

I was a pupil at HHS from 1954-57 which was when my family moved from Glasgow to Canada. I visited HHS in 1997 and a group of students informed me that the school had NEVER had a uniform. I'm sure my old headmaster, James Patterson would have been outraged to hear that.... I would really love to get in touch with my best friend Mamie Young, also Pat Connelly, Joyce McArthur and Marion Morrison. I have been married now for 38 years and my surname is now McCurrie. I am very proud to have been a student at HHS and will always remember it fondly. By the way, glad to hear that the new uniforms are now mandatory!!!!

if any of these people happen to read this please contact me on this email yalrawi@yahoo.com: luke manning, martin bogie, stuart macleod, alan gregory, michael anthony, caroline howie, anne-marie pinkerton.

Where are all the pics from all the Italy music trips?!! Good to see there have been more since I left, and also that the Jazz Band is still up and running! A big hello to anyone still around that might remember me (y'know, the really quiet one that was sometimes spotted playing keys in the Jazz band & then went to Edinburgh Uni), esp. Mr Mathieson, Miss Ross, Mrs Maitland, Mr Harkins, Mr Thorburn, Mr McHardy, & Mr Roberts

Well done to everyone at last night's school show!!!! It was great, me and my mates really enjoyed it!!!! Well done to the teachers as well!

hey hey everyone! remember me? maybe you dont he he...I'm the ginger one! anyways, just thought i'd let you all know what i'm doin as I didn't know when i left school, well, i'm a youth worker in Warrington, sunny England, near Manchester. I'm lovin' it, it was a year out but I have decided to stay here for another year, it's amazing, I also work in a...wait for it...school! yeah I know, what the heck is Mechelle doin' in a school, but I really enjoy it! It's amazin'. I take R.E. lessons, as I'm a Christain youth worker and I also assist in other classes. It's all fun. I have a different respect for teachers now 'cause I know how hard it is for y'all! I work with kids all over Warrington, from rich kids to kids from broken families, they are amazing! Anyways, hope your all doin' ok, hope to see some of you soon when I'm home for summer! Oh and I still have my accent! My email incase any of you care to know is... ginger_goose@hotmail.com love ya all, Mechelle p.s doesn't (98-04) sound like I'm dead?
Good to hear from you Mechelle. Welcome back anytime! WM

hiya , just wanted to say I miss Hillhead. Wish I was still there (oh well). Hiya Zara H - how you doin' doll? p.s. wanted to tell Mr Barr I got a 3 in maths ;) I knew I would heehee jk - and hiya to all the teachers. Bye x. & the sites great :)

when are you going to put all those pics on WM? there's news on the news page from MONTHS ago saying you will get up the pics for them soon and i've been waiting so long to see them! hehe well anyway hi everyone and i hope you get better soon to nazma! bye x
You are right, but teaching commitments do not always allow for immediate updates - sorry! WM. We'll see what can be done

HI EVERYONE HOW YOU ALL DOIN'?

I found your school name in my mother's school Bible. She was Christine Turnbull. Just wanted to send greetings from beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada to all of you.

We're in the Scottish Cup semi-finals! yasss! ...and we've got a game on the 11th of feb so come and watch and we need some new strips please.

Hi everbody! How're the exams goin?:| Hopefully you'll all do brilliantly! Have the Whitey's got any gigs goin yet? :P I miss being one of their groupies!

Just wanted to say hi and to ask when the school show is? I'm getting numerous dates thrown at me from some of you guys and am now terribly confused (doesn't take much to confuse me though, haha:P) I'd love to come along...the Christmas concert was really great and I'd love to see everyone again!

Word of advice: you don't actually realise how much you'll miss school til you leave it :P I'm having the time of my life at uni right now - my english course is fabby and really inspirational - but sometimes you need Mr Flanagan about to give you a gentle nudge when essays are due in:P Otherwise (if you're like me) you end up leaving it to the last minute! It's still brilliant though - our lecturers are mad!

Anyway, best be offskies, but big hello's to everyone in music dept (keep Miss Ross smiling!:P), english dept (is Mr Mclaren back yet?), and to Mr I.C and C.C over in history too, cuz I miss their merry war of wit on a Monday afternoon.

Ciao!

It's the first time I've seen this site. I was at HPS in the sixties and HHS from 72-79. Like Dave McCartney (message 8/4/02), hi Dave!, it would be good to hear from some former teachers.
And, yes I remember the Allsops! I can picture you clearly Jane! Patx

I was a former pupil, I started in 1992 and left in 1998. I have just recently met alot of the people from my class and it got me thinking about school and how it was a great time, apart from all the work, but if it was not for that I suppose I wouldn't be where I am today. I am currently studying again but this time it's to be a nurse so just beware if you come into accident and emergency that you will have a former Hillhead High student working on you!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to say a massive well done to everyone that was involved in the music concert, it was really amazin :) You guys are all stars! Keep it up, and I'll see y'all in the summer concert :)
T x

I was bullied into this by someone who shall remain nameless, until the end of this message!

Hi to everyone that was in 2E-6E between 1999 and 2004 (I think that's the right years), this is Evander N and I would just like to say hello to everyone in general and also a big thanks to all the teachers who didn't give up on me and got me through and helped me get the grades I needed. I'm sure the Chemistry department will be so happy to know that I am now in the top 3rd of chemistry in the 1st year Bioscience section, who would have thought it, me being good at chemistry!

After making a mess of 5th year, I have managed to get the grades on attempt 2 in 6th year to get into Strathclyde University and now I am studying Forensic Biology or "How to commit crimes and not get caught 101!" So far it has been fun, can't wait 'til I get to use all the cool devices you see in CSI, like a device if mis-used you shoot yourself with a few thousand volts, neat eh!

So Happy New Year to everyone and good luck to anyone who reads this and if anyone want to contact me you can do so at trent_downward@hotmail.com

P.S ~ To the person I saw on the subway on the 28th December at a few minutes after 1pm from Hillhead to Buchanan Street, I am sorry I couldn't stop and talk to you, even thought I wanted to, sorry!

P.P.S ~ That Shayan fellow was the person who bullied me into this :P

Hi to all. I used to go to Hillhead once upon a time (sigh!) well I was browsing the net when I found this site. Well actually someone give me the link for it :p. well just like to say Hillhead was a good experience for me. There was the good the bad and the ugly days but more of the good I think! I left school in 5th year after getting accepted by Strathclyde uni for chemical Engineering (avoid it if you can!). Well just wana give a BIG shout to whoeva knew me back in the golden days and also to all my teachers. Oh and a Happy new year to all!
Just in case anyone wants to contact me my email is shayankomai86@hotmail.com

Heya! This is just a quick message to say Happy New Year to everyone at Hillhead! Can't believe the time's passed so quickly, it's already been half a year since we left. I'm a third of the way through 1st yr at uni now.. haven't dropped out yet, so it's going fairly alright.. :P

Anyways, hope you all have a great 2005! See ya later xxx

Hey everyone, just wanted to say hey to all the music people who left. We're really missing you :). Thanks for coming to the concert. Really nice to see you briefly, even though I didn't see you afterwards. But we'll catch up soon.
Good luck to all in their exams :( hope you had a good Christmas

It's not often that I write to my own school, but I thought I would on account of tonight's School Concert. I just wanted to say well done to each and every pupil who took time to practice, and had the courage to take part. It was a fantastic treat, which I'm glad I was able to experience! Well done, and keep up the good work! A.Teacher. (not telling which one!)

Hi, Hillhead High! I think you are all fine and doing a great job! Tried to log on to your Chinese Dept! Not successful!
I have a wonderful Chinese adopted granddaughter and about to have a second!
Can you help me get to your Chinese Department? Would really appreciate!
Aileen
Certainly! please aim your browser at www.hillheadhighchinese.ik.org or go to our Web Links and you'll find the Chinese Dept. under the School Departments sub-section, and hopefully that will do the trick! You will not be disappointed. WM

Hey. How you all doing. Just had a look at the website and wanted to leave a Message. Thanks for Mrs Milligan, Miss Delaney and Mrs Kennedy for helping me pass my exams, 2 Years ago. Hope you still remember me. Im at uni now, 2nd Years Computer Engineering at Caly.

Hi everyone. I am now studying English, History, and Psychology at the University of Dundee. I am really enjoying it. Feel free to get in contact. Best wishes for the years to come to all staff and pupils. lewisjdonaldson@yahoo.co.uk,

It's been a while since I checked back...and it's good to see that a few auldies like me remember our days at Oakfield Ave. Yes, I remember the Kasper twins. If I remember correctly, they played second row when I traded fullback with David Nairn in the 1st yr A team. I do remember quite clearly one of the twins nailing Mr Goldie with a crunching tackle from behind that brought his face into intimate contact with the cold mud of Garscadden one February afternoon. Also, I remeber most, if not all, of the Allsopps...Ollie (Jeremy) was in my class.

Hey guys, just started my course at The Glasgow Academy of Musical Theatre Arts, I'm havin the time of my life! :)
Just like to say a big hello and thanks to all the teachers who helped me get where i am today, Mr Matheson, Miss Ross, Miss Pollock, Mr Maclaren, Mr Cunningham and loads more. Hope you are enjoying the new term so far :P

Heyy..its me Palvisha!..anyway i've left this school going to uni :) ...just like to say that i had a geat time there and all teachers were greattt and made some great freinds for life..and hope everyone has a good year...and Don't miss me too much lolz...Byez
best wishes at Uni, and keep in touch! WM

HILLHEAD HIGH IS GREAT!
glad you like it here! WM :-)

Anyone remember those twin brothers from the US
in first form way back in 1970-71?? Just dropped by
to say "Hello!" Kenny Innis, Jim McIntosh,Adrian Laing??

But isn't that moderators are for? Banning people who abuse the rules of fourms?
True, but we have few people who have spare time to moderate forums. Your idea may soon be used in some schools however. WM

I was just wondering if you had ever considered setting up a forum? It would be pretty good. There are plenty of free ones out there to set up.
This is a good idea, in theory, however such a forum may be open to abuse by those not altogether interested in school related matters. So, in short, no. WM :-l

Hi to everyone in 3rd year. I think 3rd year is great, and the new teacher Miss Lynch (Drama) is too.

Hi i would just like to thank Miss Ness for everything she did for me in School! You were an Inspiration. xxx

Hi, I think the school should have a disco because i,ve been to the school for 2 years and there has only been 2 discos and thats quite bad because cleveden and other schools have one for valentines day, easter, and all events which people celebrate. Discos are good for schools because everyone gets along and has a good time. A 2nd year.

I was goining to come to this school but i didnt! i really wish i did 'cause it looks great. Anyway, HI to everyone! and can you tell me if hillhead primary has its own site!?! PLEASE i really want to know. do i qualify for the former pupils bit if i went to the primary? i live in london now. thanks
from I
We'll see about getting primary school websites up and running in August. WM

Can you please put some pictures of the students (like class photos) in the gallary 'cause buildings bore me and the rest of the world too (except mabye the people who put them there)! Please
from I
Maybe in August, but no promises! WM

Hey Hillhead,
"bet everyone's glad school has finished for the summer!
every one will be glad they are another year closer to leaving!" anyway i was reading the comments and everyone keeps saying they will beat us at sports, but "were simply the best,were better than all the rest,were better than anyone"
hillhead are the best.......
**from a pupil**
All our 'superstars' are having a well earned holiday. However, they will be back in the new term, ready to meet any challengers - in a sporting way, of course! WM.

Today was my final day at Hillhead High School. It's been a priviledge studying here for the last six years and I'll be up to visit mucho! The teachers have all been amazing over the last years and provided me with the encouragement and guidance which has moulded me into who I am today.

So anyways, I just wanted to say thank you to the school, the teachers and all my other leaving 6th years who have made this period of my life so enjoyable and fun! :)

See everyone soon - keep in touch y'all!! (And to practise my fading Spanish) Buen vacaciones!!!

I was just curious as to how i would put my name under "Former Pupils". Cause now that i am one, i'd like to put my email address up on this site just in case any old mates want to contact me. So sad just now to think that i'm leaving but it'll be good on the first day back at term when you'll all be crawling into school, I'll still be lying in bed!! Stage School doesnt begin till mid september!! heehee!!! T x

To be added to the former pupils page, just give us the relevant info through the Enquiry button; Name, Years Attended & email address. Best wishes. WM

Hiya! I just want to say hi to all my friends at Hillhead High. I've had such a great first year, hope I have a good 2nd year too!

Hey everyone. Hope everyone's ok. I'm still in London studing musical theatre its brill but missin good old Glasgow. Would like to see some old pics. Hi wee sis 2b xxxxxxx

hey people knightswood will beat you guys next time we play you in netball or basket ball or football. We will beat you

regards sarah

Sounds like a challenge! I like it! WM

Hi people, for the person who was asking if Miss Henderson, Miss Smith etc are still there the answer is yes (from Hillhead Primary) I think that they are still there teaching the current pupils lol.

Did you know a former pupil is Sir Menzies Campbell MP, Lib Dem Foriegn Affairs Spokeman? He was recently made a Knight of the realm!

Hi everyone! Captain Tez is right - it's the end of an era for all us in the senior school that are leaving. Where have the past 6 years gone?! although we seem desperate to get out now, we will miss ya all:P Cheesy, but true!

I was so surprised when T told me that Catherine had posted here! How are ya doll? If you come back here any time soon can you post your MSN address (if you have one?) Could catch up on the gossip!

And in reply to what the 2nd year girls said, I think they should get another disco too. The wee school don't get enough discos, and the ones we had when we were in first and second year were such a buzz, am I right? Don't think anyone will ever forget Matthew G raving his way down the stairs with his yello glo stick:P

Good luck to the poor ppl sitting exams!

Marj x

Hey jane how ya doin doll? Hope you are keepin well gal! Spoke ta Mel before she went on hol so hopefully we will get the chance to meet up for a brink (since we are all legal (old!), no that it stopped us before). Hope to speak ta you soon loads a love cheryl xxxx p.s still working hard?)

heey, just to add and reply to Ling's comment. Totally true, 6th years do RULE! :P lol
Best of Luck to all S4/5/6 tho, exams are soo stressful! :P It's cool tho, whats meant to be will be!!:)
Also, Us leaving, TOTALLY END OF AN ERA!!:(

Only kidding, I'll miss it so much!!:(
Captain Terri, ONLY FOR ANOTHER MONTH! :(

Wow - this is the 3rd last day of high school classes I'll have EVER! It's quite scary! Exams are so soon! Eeek! Anyways, Good Luck to everyone who are, or will soon be, sitting their exams right now, esp the 6th yrs just bcoz - it's obvious - we rule! But I can't believe we're leaving, it's like totally the end of an era.
Anyways, just wanted 2 say good luck 2 everyone! I'm sure you'll all do amazingly well.
Luv, ling xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Heeeey, just a wee message in reply to that of Miss Catherine Cameron's!! :) Haven't seen you in YEARS darlin, hope you're doing ok, and its cool to hear you're off to study art.

In all seriousness, I'm now an Assistant Producer in a Recording studio and will be heading to North Glasgow in August to do a HNC Radio course. Hello 2 all the troops and troopettes that crossed ma path in my time at Hillhead, and I hope u are all studyin hard for your exams... especially the Physics students. If you ever need any help, just let me know, I got 30% for my Higher prelim, so I have a vast knowledge of all things Physical... anyway! C u all around, cheers!!! Liam (1/2/3/4/5/6E)

heya everyone who's reading this! just finished choosing subjects. it's really funny how all the teachers start being nice to you when they find out about it. "kate you are such a genius, i don't know why i never thought about that!", "you are so talented at this! why dont you take over as teacher?" i'm certainly not complaining though!!! So, to the teachers who won't have the delight in taking me - you can always catch me at one of the concerts. I'm so talented you know!! A big shout out to all the pals who have been there for me, marysia, alexis, ann, vicky, rhea, michelle, angelica, ahad, judy, hannah, oh the list is endless!!! there about 100 other people! anyways, see ya all later, kate. xxx ;c)
>>>We do have many talented pupils at Hillhead. Are you taking a Technical subject by any chance? I'm sure you would do well ! :-| WM

HEY hillhead ,
cool web and also want to say hi to all the teacher in hillhead bye bye !!!!!!!

OH aye, Hillhead, :| (I left last yeaR)

I think the website's good, but a major benifit would be a PHP forum, where topics and discussion threads would be possible. Just a thought.

How is everyone? The teachers I plagued over the years! Ha! Mr Taylor Ha! Serious for one minute though, I have to thank everyone who was involved in educating me, its was a good laugh, and they all deserve more pay... Thank You. Goodnight.

Well a just wanted to say a big WELL DONE to Terri and Marje for their great performance in the school show and to everyone else that was in it you were ALL great!!! Also well done to every single person involved in it...the music teacher...backstage people....the lights and sound people...and also the poor child that helped the pink ladies get changed.....Grease was amazing!!!! Terri and Marje you 2 will be missed terribly!!! jst dnt forget us all....

Any Chance Of Getting Some Old Photos On The Site, Would Be Nice To See The Old Hillhead Pupils As Well As The New.
>>>Unfortunately these days, that kind of thing needs the permission of all concerned. We will look for some general photos of days gone by, but it will take some time. Thanks. WM

wm It would be nice to see some old photos on the website, and by the way is it at all possible to get backdated copies of the year book say from 99 ?

>>>Will try to find more 'old' photos for you, and there might be the odd yearbook. Please use our Enquiry page to tell us your requirements (and contact details). WM

Back again!!!!!! Just thought i'd say hello!!!!! At college and there is only so much of my legal class i can take! (enough of the courts and practices). Hope you all had a wonderful New Year! love cheryl xxxxx

Just thought i would check the site out again. I left Hillhead back in august and i am glad to say i did because i don't know if i could of handled D-Side coming to our school :-x! Anyways it was a good school and had some good pupils and at a push some good teachers. Still keeping the site organised i see Mr M. 8-)
One does one's best John - at a push! WM

Hi everybody,I was just wondering how come the school doesn't let you know the school's website cos i wanted to check it out ages ago!!! I think the school should put up notices to make you aware of the school website. I don't know how but i found a newsletter from June 2003 (volume 1,issue 4) last week. I knew the school had a website but i didnt know the website address.....i think the school should organise something to do on lunchtimes since ur sometimes bored for like half and hour so not doing much :( C ya later.....
>>>The school's URL is put on every Newsletter. Perhaps putting a poster up in the school would be nice, but we're not into blowing our own trumpet! As for lunch time, most staff take time to eat & relax. What kind of things do you have in mind ???? WM

Hi its me again................beethoven yeah cough*cough*....................I find it funny how sometimes people reply to your mesages not knowing who you are and for all you know you could be worst enemies or even brother and sister lol. OK, ive still not been hearin any music on the tannoys :-( AAAAAAH i got a puppy for xmas hope you all had a great xmas and i hope you all have a SPECTACULAR new yr ( i wouldnt know that word if it wasn't for hillhead high lol)..........anyways Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee luv wee mexXx

Hillhead high school is the coolest! I think it is the very BEST school ever! I loved looking at your pictures of the school, because it brought back so many good memories from last year. I miss it SO much! Hello to my friends Kirsten, Shanelle, Erin, Nadia, Burcin, Katie, Carol-Ann and Amy!

why/when was the motto "pluralised" from "je maintiendrai"?
>>>Please see the "About Us" section and the "FAQ" sub-section for an attempt at an answer to this tricky question. WM

just like to say to all the people still at Hillhead are very lucky!!!!! We never ever got anything like a boyband coming to see us!! find yourselfs very lucky!!!!!!! love loads cheryl xxxxxxx (who organised it?)
>>>We were kindly given the offer of a visit by the tour manager. Thanks D-Side.! WM

I agree with the third year, though I have a feeling it would eventually go wrong... still, maybe over Christmas we could have Christmas music or something?
Also, WM, do you know if they will have the big speakers in the refectory playing Christmas music on the last day again because I really enjoyed the music last time!
>>>I'm hopeful that the service, panto and quiz all have a bit of Seasonal Cheer, but don't know the exact plans yet! WM

Hey Ling,
Suprise thought I'd congradulate you for doing so well and getting an interview through to Oxford!!! Hopefully I'll be seeing you soon down my end of the world, make sure you ring me when you get here.
Once again well done mate, well proud of ya!!

loadsa love,

Clara

P.S and good luck to everyone else whatever they're doing at the moment, peace.

Why is their nothing on the Kelvin School project on this site? I think Hillhead Kelvin School project was great, and the 3rd years are doing a good job from taking over from the original steering group. t armstrong r dool g dool c roper and Miss Mackie are doing a brill job. thanx 4 listening.
>>>Contributions to the website can be given to Mr McChesney in the Technical dept. It would be best if they were typed(or saved onto disk), and have some photos to go with them. Thanks Tam. from WM

Hey Hillhead,
Can i just say that i think the Tannoys should play music at lunchtime and interval and pupils should be able to chose the music and Mr Morely can download it on to their computer. Just an idea from wee me cus at lunch time i get soooo bored and I need to hear some music!!!! LOLZ anywayzzzzz IF ANYONE AGREES WITH MY IDEA THEN SHOW SOME ACTION 4 IT!!!!! lolz From wee me xXx
You never know. You might get what you ask for. I like to listen to Beethoven. :-) WM.

Hello all, I attended Hillhead High some time in the 1940's, not sure exactly when. I was born on Dumbarton Road in Yoker July 1936, and left with my mother to reunite with my father in New York. I now live in Texarkana Texas.
Would love to here from someone from that period, the only name that still runs around in my head is Alistair Campbell. I have a vague memory of a Bamford, but am not sure if that name was associated with the school, or from some place we had been evacuated to. Hope to hear from some of you.
Colin McGregor

We would like to give a big shout out to all of our friends Paula,Nabeela,Shamaiela,nonza,niloofar,caroline,hala,sasha,nadia,chris,emily,
Laura,annie and eveeryone who is in 4th year. Good Luck in your prelims

Evie, I think Mr Smith had a beard, not a tache! I'm sure i seen a pic of him sumwhere with one - hmmmm more delving required! ;)

Hey people still at hillhead and teachers. Just bored doing work for university so decided to send you a message. Would just like to thank all my teachers throughout high school as you have all got me to uni. At Strathclyde uni doing arts and social sciences (Geography) and would like to thank Mr McTrusty for his help through 6th year even tho' i did it twice. And Mrs O'neill and Mr Clark for their help with maths! And both getting me A's although doubt they thought i would do it! Anyway hope you're enjoying the old place! ciao

did Mr Smith (the old librarian) have a 'tash from !998 to 2000?

hmm?

Could you please tell Terri and Kyle that Mr Smith, the 'old' librarian, did NOT have a moustache. Tez and Kyle obviously have come over with a bout of the crazzies and don't know what they're talking about. Mr Smith was as clean shaven as... a clean shaven person. Mr Thorburn did have a moustache but shaved it off for charity. Is this right?
hmm ?

Just back in Glasgow after 7 years Living / Working in Hong Kong

Hillhead was great in my day 71 - 77 and also in the primary before then. Many fond memories and some good laughs.

Hope to hear from anyone who remembers me or my brother Ian

big up! to 2nd year. This site is quite good, CIN was real good but..........it's nothin' without a guid ole head shavin'
C ya PS ( hope all 1st years are enjoying school)

Was just looking out my college room window and all I can see is a big giant poster of pugsy bear and it got me thinking of you lot again!!!!!! Hope all you s5/s6 pupils have got your fancy dress stuff ready so you can do better than last year!!! Unfortunately I didn't to CIN last year as I was on a set of crutches!!!!!! Hope you are all keeping well last time I was on forgot to say hello to the other historian Campbell and say "I finally passed" (what a relief he says!) Better go now may not be on the site for a while so I'll take the chance to say I hope you all have a nice christmas and a very happy new year. Hope santa is good to you all

Loads of love cheryl

p.s webmaster since your so SMART you tell me which came first the chicken or the egg?
The debate rages on.... ....and anyway, I asked first.... best wishes to you, WM :-p

Please tell me you're all considering the hotpants idea? Our hearts would be absoloutely torn apart if it didn't happen... Is there any info on what we are doing for CIN yet anyway?
>>>Looks like there will be no headshaving-type events this year. There will be enough S5/S6 to sponsor for dressing up! WM

Hey dudes and dudettes, hope all at Hillhead are fine! Just passed my driving theory test and thought i would share that with you! At college now doing Legal Services. Just thought i'd drop a wee note to say hello to my wee working buddies jane r and mel c. Got to say a big hello to some teachers who helped get through my last year at school Mr Campbell(guidance) how's it going mucker?, Mr Barr, Got 'A' - not bad eh? and to last but no means least Mr Rennie, the one who made my life hell (only joking) thank for all your support whilst i was at school, and hope you are keeping well!!! Well gotta go be up to visit once i'm driving about in my wee car love cheryl xxxxx
p.s Webmmaster how ya doin? Hope you are keeping well. Got anything we can argue about today? :p
>>>Which came first, the chicken or the egg? ;p WM

Just a quick thank you to whoever finally corrected the spelling of my name in the News section. Cheerz :) x x x

i thought wear it pink was a very good idea

well i just thought i would try and encourage people to wera pink and give money to the charity.it is a very very good cause so c'mon everybody lets be pink its a chance to ditch the uniform so lets do it and be PRETTY IN PINK.i will b doing it to well as much of pink as i can.
big hello to everyone!
xxmexx

Well, after much discussion with my friends, we(or maybe just me...)decided that, for CIN we should dress some teachers in gold hot pants and make them dance about singing the Cheeky girls! Preferably male teachers, too. Come on, at Christmas they all >some

In reference to the webmaster's comment, I did NOT see it here first. I saw them at the school, not the website.
P.S. Materialism is not on my list, but I cannot deny that it should only be me that gets a locker, Because then I could charge people ridiculously high rates to store stuff in it.
>>>ok, read it here first. WM

I forgot to add, what's happening for CIN? Another head shaving please, except this time it has to be Mr O'Neill because his hair is terrible like mine.
P.S. Please don't tell him I said that!

>>>Too late Murray. You've typed it now! WM

Where was the head shaving this year? Remember last year at the MacMillan Cancer Relief, Mr. McC and Mr. M both got a nice colourful mohawk? I feel ripped-off that we didn't have it this year! Still, it was all in aid of charity... but next time, Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Curran should get a mohawk! It's unfair that the other two technical teachers should have all the fun! :P

Random thoughts from a 2nd yearer...

>>> If you look in the News section of the website, you'll see that head shaving is reserved for the Children in Need event. This year's CIN is still to come, so any suggestions for what could be done ? ...and to whom? WM

hey..........i'm a first year and i would like to say this school ROCKS!!....at first i was nervous but now i am TOTALLY fine.....with the help of ma pals.........julie k.....jojo alexander(j)......Danya A....David M.....Marjie.....and ma cousins Terri O'B (who is school captain) Colin Mac.........and by the Fantastic help from all the teachers.........
Zaza m...........Thanx!!!!!

>>> on behalf of the staff.... thank you. WM

I think (like many people) you need to put pictures on this website. Also, was that lockers I saw Mr Cunningham standing beside today? If so and I certainly hope all pupils get one or will it just be for seniors and me? And if no-one gets them, i'm sure ill get one :)

>>>I see that materalism is still high on your agenda Murray? Yes you saw it here first. The old lockers have arrived at the school. What is to happen with them? ....unknown at present. WM

hi people. Just want to say that i'm at college now doin' a fashion design course for 3 years, then plan to go to uni down in London. Hope everyone is doin' well. Love yas zaz.x.x.

sara, jason, you didnt leave me a contact e.mail address to get in touch. contact me at raymie.em@lycos.co.uk

Hiya everyone, just to say hiya to ma pals who are still at Hillhead. Gillian, Amanda (They know who they are!!) and me Wee Brother Lawrence ( 2a ). At my work now, skiving. Nice to see some things havent changed!! I only left school in May, - seems like a lifetime ago. Only wish I had listened to my ma now, "your school days, are the best days!!". A BIG "Hello" to Mrs Milligan (thanks for the reference), Miss Delaney and Miss Kempston, missing you all already. Melissa says "Hello" too. Anyway, I better go but Hello to everyone especially those mentioned and I hope to see you all soon. Luv Jane xxx. p.s Hiya Cheryl. xx

Hey children, just came across this site-it's quite cool needs more pics though! I really enjoyed my time at hillhead and met many great and some not-so-great people! Well I've just moved a few doors along now and I'm in 3rd year at Glasgow University studying Psychology. Hope everyone is well.

Nicewebsite.....
Just would like to say that I agree with loads of people who've already pointed this out; LOCKERS! GIVE US LOCKERS!
Did you know that sometimes high school kids can cart around the equivalent of a three year old child ALL DAY on their backs?

thanks a lot WM

just a wee question for the webmaster,any chance that you could maybe add a new photo archive page which would include photos from the past 10 years or so?its just that i remember being in a good few photos with the rest of my class and pals etc so it would be good to see them all again for a bit of a laugh.or even photos from the school yearbooks between 1995 and 2000 or if there was any yearbooks still available in the school or whatever could you maybe let me know.thanks a lot.oh and photos from the school ceilidh from november/december 1999 would also be good to see again!

>>> Will certainly see what we can do! WM

I have just discovered this web site and on reading the comments I have to agree with James Breakey's comment of a few months back about school uniforms. I can't believe that the uniform is not mandatory. In my day, way back in 1953 - can't believe it is that long ago - we had to wear uniforms complete with brown shoes and of course either a hat or beret in navy blue. If you were caught coming to school without your beret by the prefects standing at the gate checking everyone you were given some kind of punishment from lines to copying Shakespeare texts. I am now living in Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada so I haven't kept up with the school for some time.

>>>Our pupils probably don't know how good they've got it. They are, however, expected to wear uniform each and every day - so this is not different from your day. It would be interesting to see some of them in berets however !WM

About lack of space...the back playground hardly gets used these days, we need to get more people using it cos its just a waste of space at the moment....no...?

>>>don't tell anyone, but there may be plans underway to use this space... a little bird told me

Another year. i'm in second year but the time first passed in i fell like i could be starting 6th!

>>>please explina what you mena, thankyou. WM

I have just spent my first week ay hillhead and have found it very enjoyable and a great school. i think that it is great that the school has introduced a uniform. i have always supported school uniform but have realised what a benifit it actually was to me. as being a 'new girl' it helped me fit in a lot easier. One complaint i have about the school is the lack of a 6th year common room. i have found i have had many free periods and have nowhere to go. i was surprised that a school of your size did not have one. especially as the building has had so much work done. otherwise,great school! *

>>>thanks Lib, but remember it's your school now, and so why not pass on your thoughts straight to your year head. Unfortunately space can be tight, but that doesn't mean we have to accept only one 'solution'. Webmaster

hey i've left school now thank goodness! Well im hoping to join the royal air force soon and i would just like to say good luck to everyone in whatever they all do-ill miss alot of you bye for nowxxx

if any one out there remembers me then please get in touch. drop me an email. it would be great to catch up. dont really hear much now that i live down in london.

just saw the pictures of the school halloween disco. dear oh dear oh dear. anyone remember the old discos we had back in 98.98 with the likes is dj genner8 and screechy? now thats what you call a disco. both now proffesional djs. Screechy (matthew cordiner) now workin with public domain and genner8 (raymond mitchell) now working with ministry and the members. check out the site http://www.themembers.org

Yeehee I got FOUR awards today at prizegiving! Soo... I will be going into second year in August which is... good (Yes, look at my incredible vocabulary!!!). I really enjoyed first year... Except Technical. Ugh... And Science. The teachers were alright but the subjects are boring... Now, just hoping my teachers don't see this...

Alsoooo, Goodbye to Mr McGarvie and Miss Watson, my Maths and PE teachers. You both really helped me and are both great teachers.
~Marysia
PS-Mr McGarvie, how's your cat? :P

this website is not bad .
but it would be better if it had more pictures of the school and the pupils!

just wanna say hi to all my friends coz i know they miss me....hi to:, mel, thomas,kimberley, rangeen, miliam, cathrine, macdonna, zeyneb.....and by the way i wanna come home, well to school that is....:P

I would like to thank mr wilson for all the support and extra homework he' s gave me and i hope it pays off. I would also like to thank all the lads for the healthy games a soccer we got at mta especially my goo d m8 chris f who showed me how to score some screamers and how to make a great sliding tackle cheers frizey

I left the school around four years ago, and have very fond memories of it. I would like to say thanks to all the teaching staff at hillhead, and thanks for memories of boring homework etc!! Also, a big hello to all who remember me.

hey everyone, this is paula (S4), by the way this site is great.....id just like to say that hillhead is a great school to go to (minus all the little idiots)...hillhead's just about the only school i know with great, nice teachers, two of which i'd like to give a mention......MrsMcRoberts(who used to be a police woman! so be careful..hehehehehe) and also Mrs Clarke, who is S4's year head!.......anyway, if anyone wants to contact me my email is .........................., bye all xxxxx

I think HILLHEAD IS GREAT FRIENDLY AND NICE TEARCHERS TOO, I JUST WANT TO SAY HIE TO MY FRIENDS CATHY MBISA ,RANGEEN, KIMBERLY, PAULA, MICDANNA,HALA , SASHA, & RUTH.

Hi Hillhead community, I was surfing the net, when the idea of searching for my old school came to my mind, even though I was only for the seventh grade I remember pretty good experiences from it, specially for all the people that helped me to become a member in the school, I was a Mexican boy in a country pretty far away from mine, and I was accepted in quite good. Now a days I am living in Mexico and I am finishing the Industrial Engineer career and I am working also at a Bank...well I hope to hear from someone soon..

And thanks to the teachers in the english as a second language department...and the guidance department especially to Mr. Booth

Byee...Feel free to send an e mail..

Just like to say what a good job you've done with the site. I'm a first year myself and after a shaky start with a few problems, I'm really beginning to enjoy studying at Hillhead (especially in music and PE) and also beginning to enjoy the opportunities that it offers. 2 complaints though, one about the school and the other about the website.
1. Please, please, please open the lift to all!
2. The website needs some shading :)

>>>>>>>Thanks for your comments. Pleased to hear that you've found enjoyment in school. To answer your complaints.... 1. The lifts are for deliveries and people who have difficulty using stairs. With 1000 pupils in the school it would be folly to allow 'access for all'. 2. More shading ? I suppose you mean tonal scale? Will see what can be done! Webmaster

Really surprised to see the comments about school uniforms. Does this mean that uniforms are optional now at Hillhead ? As an ancient "Old Boy" {class of 1947} I am disappointed if this is indeed the case. Here in Vancouver ,Canada, of course the private schools wear uniforms but the public schools are now pushing for uniforms also. I guess that I am out of touch but can't help feeling that the uniform fostered the School Spirit.

looked up the site for the first time the other week and saw a message to the school from my big cousin raymond (who i have not seen in AGES) so i thought i would leave a message to him saying "hiya and hope your doin good" anyway would just like to say a big HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO to everyone that remembers me and hope ya'll have a fantastic summer!

In response to Cheryl, i think it is you who is placing people in groups. By presuming that im referring to one group of people who happen to dress a certain way, it is you who is guilty of catagorizing people. Of course, there are people of all dress and 'groups' that cause trouble, and that is who i, and the man in the article are referring to. A Ned is a non educated delinquent, and you cant tell one of these by how they dress, its by the way they act. I wasnt referring to any 'group' in particular, and if you thought i was then i apologise. Surely you agree that something should be done about those who bring down the school?


>>>>>> Cheryl ??? Do you agree? WEBMASTER

dis is da best school in da world.
you rock hilllhead high

>>> looking at your spelling and grammar, there is still room for improvement yet. WM.

where are you hareem? in the USA? How is it there? - school is really good. why haven't you phoned or contacted us?

Miss the place muchly, didn't really appreciate it til now when I look back. Started Hillhead Aug '94 and left summer '99.... met some great folk in my years there. A massive shout out to all who remembered me... Miss Maitland (Modern Languages) we love you!.... I'm now working down south for a Theatre company in London's West End. I look forward to all my trips back up there. Get in touch all who remember me. Jase

alright people how are you. I'm at ANNIESLAND COLLEGE studying for a construction course, it should be finishing soon.

Right webmaster you made your point! I made mine too so let's leave it like that!

webmaster, if you read carrie's comment again you will see that she does in fact name one group of ppl for the going on's in the school! she names the neds!!! Put the comment on or i'm cumin to pay you a visit!!! :p

>>>Webmaster: Carrie is paraphrasing the article which appeared about the school. The article was written by a third party, -someone outside the school looking on.

Hey Carrie, if you stopped placing people into a catergory then people wouldn't always be fightin in their wee groups!! Can I just say it ain't always the neds that cause the problems, what about the sk8rs and goths, so you have to get your facts right before you put people down like that! Everybody has an opinion and that's mine!! cya cheryl

>>> reading Carrie's comments again (see (way) below), she does not appear to be naming any one group as responsible (or irresponsible for that matter). Most pupils want the best out of their schooling. Webmaster.

Would like to say a big congratulations to our wee pal G.Beattie who is the proud mum of 12 week old baby boy, Cai. See you at the christening.

love always doll

Happy 18th Birthday to M.Cairney on the 6th April!! :)

As seemingly one of the older contributers to this page, I'm delighted to see that the school is still held in such high esteem by its pupils. I have very happy memories of my days in both Cecil St. and Oakfield Avenue with Mr. Stewart and Mr. Paterson as respective heads. " Here's tae us, Wha's like us......"

Fantastic site so far from what i ve seen and great to see so many names from the past either in here or on friends reunited site.

Have just come back from 7 years in Hong Kong which was great and finding Scottish weather exactly what I remembered it to be like. Difficult to explain to my sons who had never seen snow.

Would like to hear from anyone who remembers me Primary through to leaving Secondary in 1977.

Hello to all at Hillhead High School!!! (left june 2000.) Working at Barretts newsagents full time.(Byers rd) Hope everyone is well. If you know me, (and if u don't) dont be shy 2 send me a e-mail!!!! Take care!!!.

Merry Christmas. Joyeux Noel.

Congratulations for your web site and a Merry Christmas with a lot of nice gifts and a Happy New year with a lot of accomplishments.

I would like to tell everyone that there was an article in a paper about this school, and basically this man who lives on Southpark Avenue thinks this school is a dump, and is basing his opinions about the whole school on a couple of Neds who ruin things for the rest of us by setting off Fireworks and vandalising local property. We all know that the majority of people in this school are well behaved, decent youngsters and it is very unfair to be judged on the behaviour of others (I wont mention any names). It's about time that people started to recognize the good things about the school because there are hundreds. Come on! Lets be proud of our school!

To all those names from 1977 onwards, greetings from the Guidie Historian who is still trying to teach the unteachable, and inspire the inspired!

Hey to everyone. this is the 1st time i have been onto the school website. I would just like to say well done to Mr. McChesney its really good. Cheers to everyone that voted me for as prefect. Although i think we are all just slaves with a badge (hehe). Hope everyone has a good year. byeeeee.
P.S Big hi to Nadim (since he is sitting beside me) and to Natasha, Carrie and Angela. Mmmmmmwah xxx.

Hello people first i'd like to say we're going to hammer the staff at footbaw on friday and the teachers better be expecting some hard tackles (only joking). Anyway am going to keep up the the sports and keeping fit, c ye later. p.s WE'RE GOING TO HAMMER THE TEACHERS - Yesssss!

Just a quick hi to anyone in school who remembers me. im at uni now.
Hope everyone is working hard.
Hi to Nadim who posted a message. NUFC=not good

I have been at hillhead primary too, and from 1a to 7a, and an A all the way in HHS too. If only this reflected on my grades. If only. (Sigh). Good site.

P.S. hey to the scooby-gang!

- - - so you want to be a prefect huh ? - - -

hillhead is a fun school :) im a first year and i got attacked by a big mob of 2,3 and 4th years - but they didnt touch me cos i ran past them... very interesting... the best thing in hillhead is mta... its a shame they didnt put up school rugby teams and stuff on the site though...

The new school is great....The only thing i miss is the open corridors.
I wish the old teachers were still here such as Mr Campbell of Physics, Mr Allan of Biology and also Ms Allan of Maths who also taught my mum at N.K. If Mr Cunningham is readig this please make me PREFECT..... P.S. Hi to any 6th years who were in school in the year 2001/2002 - especially Osman Raja and Gary Carrigan and also IOD - PTFC RULE

- - Sorry Nadim, it's not up to the Headteacher alone to select prefects! - -

Em, I was just reading down this and I seen my mate Hareem's wrote in it. Just wanted to say, missin u loads n loads and I'll talk to you soon! XX

good information!!!:)

I am still at the school and I think it is very good, but I wish that Mr MaCrae, Mr Allan Mrs Allen and all the other teachers who left, had stayed on. Hello to anybody I know.

Who did this site? It is brilliant..... (seriously)

Miss the place so much, for everyone who remembers me then get in touch, would love to here how your getting on! I'm now a student at Christ Church Uni in Canterbury and working part time as a beach life guard and club dj which helps to fund my degree. Nothing will ever compaire to the days i had at the red x, raymond mitchell (dj raymie em) ministry o.s

Just to say that your school looks brill. I met a couple of pupils from Hillhead - wee Eilidh and Nadia, who go into 6th year and they are greatttttt!!!!

I am now studying, sports fitness and therapy at Christ Church University in Canterbury. Hillhead was my stepping stone for a life long accievement, they let me dj there school discos which led me on to work in clubs all over England. I really miss my days there and one day would love to pop in and see the dramatic changes to the building. Get in touch if you remember me, big up red x, raymond mitchell (dj raymie em)

Hi,
I was the student of Hillhead high from 1990-93. It was one of the best school.The teachers were great. I miss all of my friend and teachers. I hope through this website i may be contacted to my old friends and teachers again.

(I'm not surprised HHS has a classy website.)
All five of the Allsopps attended Hillhed Primary, and three of us went to Hillhed High. Does anyone remember us? I'd love to her from former classmates (6th year 1974).

Mary McDougall. I am trying to find anyone who remembers Mary McDougall who went to HHS from 1929- 1934. Her parents were dead and she stayed with cousins, surname of Duff. The Duff's had three children - Ian, Grace and Helen.

I am now studying at Strathclyde University, applied physics. I am about to start third year and am keeping well. I would love to hear from anyone who was at school with me, to catch up. I would also like to hear from some of my old teachers, Colin Campbell, of the History department, and Mr Booth, of the Chemistry department, particularly. Anyway get in touch and I will reply as soon as possible.

I am at Anniesland College doing my third year in Computer Engineering, hope everyone who knew me is doing well, that includes the teachers, well maybe not the ones who gave me punishment exercises :P All the best! Get in Touch.

Flicking through the Jubilee Honours, I see listed under CBE:
David Kenneth Cunningham. Headteacher, Hillhead High School, Glasgow. For services to Education.
Congratulations! It's good to see someone from the old school getting recognition.

Remember you well Carole I know you were a great friend of Helen Dunn's. Hannah's last name was Black. You and I started school together. You are the first one from our class, whaterver happened to the rest. We live in Sherwood Park Alberta and winter in Yuma,send me your e-mail and lets see what other names we can come up with.

I don't know if anyone would remember me. I was there from 1943 until 1948 when we left for Canada. I remember Helen Dunn, Moira Walker, Iris Button. Hannah ?, Isabel? and after that I am lost. I belive one of our teachers was a Miss Richmond? I live in Victoria, BC on the far west coast of Canada and would love to hear from any of you that are of the same vintage etc.

I left school just last year even though i planned to stay on but i guess i just had enough.I thought the new school would be really good but i missed the school we had before. it had character.I really miss all my friends i had there, especially Jennifer Carberry and Kirsty McKechnie so if anybody that knows them who are reading this tell them to get in touch!!! Well i gotta go and live my own live without the school.Oh and Mr (Guidance) Campbell HIYA!!

I am astounded that you have changed the school motto to the plural. I attended Cecil St. from the late 40's on and then the High School. Many memories. I have a copy of the Hillhead High School Club Book published in 1952. (Alistair Campbell, who was one of my Masters at Jordanhill. ) James Paterson was headmaster then. Do you still have Hughenden and Garscadden? Do you still teach Classics? I found that Oakfield Ave is being refurbished, but could not find out about Cecil St. Where can I find what is happening? I took my daughter back to Oakville Ave. in the 80's and you were playing baseball. The bats and gloves were lying under the War Memorial! Do the girls still play field hockey? Will the War Memorial have an honoured place in the refurbished building? Hope I get some answers. Aileen Rennie arennie@sympatico.ca

Hiya, I'm still at the school just now but wanted to say that this great new building is not all that great. The old open corridors were great, yeh you got wet but hey that was what our old school was like, full of character !!! Now all we have to rely on is the old teachers, although I have to say when I leave next year I will realy miss my guidance teacher as he is great. Yip its the great Mr C Campbell, he is so helpful and would do anything he could to help, he's great. Anyway I think its great that some people keep in touch with their school years after they left. I know I will !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps it is a mid life crisis. Maybe 12000 miles distance or even 26 years absence but I am getting increasingly nostalgic from here in New Zealand about everything from those bygone days. Memories seem as fresh and even more rose tinted now as they were back then. Out of interest and surprise perhaps the most useful subjects have turned out to be Geography and Latin yes. So thanks to those patient souls Fulton, Reid, Gaul and Laidlaw. If anyone who remembers me is out in NZ, clean green and getting better at rugby this season I think let me know.

Hillhead staff are really good. I enjoyed studying at Hillhead High.

Hillhead High was very exciting in the years 1997-2002. I was sad to leave the school. The staff were excellent especially Mr.C.L.Campbell of the Guidance Department. Also exceptional was Miss A.O'Donnell of the English Department.

The site is excellent and spurred me on to try contacting some oldies using both here and friendsreunited. Have been waiting patiently for signs of life from previous classmates but alas nobody out there seems to be from my year. I seem to remember some names that are listed but find the old grey matter failing me. Having spent my entire primary education and 3 years of senior I am keen to hear from old mates, I moved away during 3rd year to live in Perthshire. Does anyone remember Roderick Moir, Scott Livingstone, Eric Meiklejohn, Jonathan Watson, Kenny Blue, Alan Green, David Workman, George Bramma, George Gallagher. I only remember 1 or 2 girls... the twins Christine and Evelyn McMeakin and Yvonne somebody. If any of you are out there, drop us a line even if it's only to say you're still alive.

Hillhead staff is very freindly , I relly enjoyed schooling at Hillhead.
One of the best teachers and a big friend of mine is Mr Wilson in the
Maths Department.

Please get the former pupil's page back as soon as you can. Also, if there are any former teachers lurking around out there, leave your messages. I know I would like to hear from John S. Reid or Irene McLennan if they are still around.

Hmmm, the site seems to have lost the email addresses of former pupils. My address is e.h.goslan@cranfield.ac.uk

>>>former pupils page is... ...work in progress!... - webmaster

I think Hillhead High school is cool !!!!
and it's a friendly place to go,l'm very happy where l am now also the staff are very friendly.

This is a great website now....much improved since I last looked in.
I see one name I recognise in this page. That's Lilian Hunter. Remember me, Lilian ? I 'was' Lizzie Campbell and we were in the same classes for some years. I have been in touch with a few others recently, thru' Freinds Re-united. Will get in touch with you as well.

Was recently down in Glasogw, walked round Oakfield Avenue. Seemed strange, the old 'open' corridors have disappeared.
The developments have blended the 'old' with the 'new'. It has worked well.

Great to know the school is still going strong. Anyone who remembers me please feel free to contact. I can still talk - alot.

As an old boy of some 44 years standing it is fascinating to be able to log on to your new web site and catch up on current activities at the school from here in Melbourne. It brings back many fond memories to read the contributions from former pupils around my vintage.
