Almost at the end of a great week working alongside Taste from Viz a Viz and Foolproof, the theatre company from Edinburgh. It's been great to go into lessons and get to know some of the kids, and see how ready they are to chat. So a full week of music, English, PE, and Soc Ed lessons. Taken a bit by surprise this morning to arrive to the news that I was leading the S1 and 2 Soc Ed classes, but as it turned out it was a shared responsibility and we had more than enough material, and great support from the guidance staff. The highlight for me today was the chance to get together some of the churched kids to chat about what will happen next week. Sarah Strang gave a good account of her experiences as the only Christian in her year at Plockton, and the support she found the clubs we ran. So the outcome of the meeting is that BHS is going to start a 60 Second Club on Wednesday break time as PHS runs our own. Be fantastic to create some sort of link between the two schools. And following that, they're hoping to get some sort 'space' to gather on a Wednesday lunchtime.
So concert time this evening brought out around 80 kids to see more of Taste and Foolproof and consider the choices that we have in life. A lively and kid set was well received, and about 9 kids left their name wanting to find out more about following Jesus, so answers to prayer and an encouraging conclusion.
Last day tomorrow sees more music and PE, as well as the first of my S3 lessons in the morning with half the year group, and then the other half last lesson of the day. And back in the Highlands before Saturday with a good refreshment, lots of excitement in catching up with, encouraging and being encouraged by Sarah, and one or two ideas to follow up in once home.
