Creative Leadership Programme
I’d like to invite young people from your school to take part in a new pilot Creative Leadership
programme at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Its working title is the “KG Youth Collective”,
working title, as young people will decide themselves what they want to be called.
It will be running on Saturday afternoons from 1pm – 4pm beginning 14th September till December
14th 2013.
There are 16 places being offered to young people 14+ in schools from across the city but I’m
particularly targeting young people from the North of the city as the project is being financially
supported by Glasgow C.A.N, Glasgow Connected Arts Network, formerly www.ngarn.net
As it’s leadership based we are encouraging young people to do this in their own time, and
therefore we want it to be fun and they find it worthwhile. For some young people access to high

quality work experience in this area is hard to access and can make the difference in University
and Art School applications so were hoping to be able to help with that.
There is no cost to pupils for the course or registration for the qualification for an Explore level
Arts Award but pupils will have to provide any specialist materials they require for their projects
and provide their own travel expenses to Kelvingrove. There will be basic art and design materials
provided by Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum Education team and we will provide light
refreshments.
This project is open to young people aged 14+ who are interested in Art and Design or Art
History, and have leadership potential. We will be supporting young people to run and develop the
project as it goes forward. It will be challenging, fun and a valuable experience for young people
who are considering a career and life in arts. They’ll meet like-minded friends from across the
North of the city and gain a nationally recognised qualification too. We will have access to the
Glasgow Creative Arts Network (formally NGARN) to access artists and resources.

Thanks to Caroline Smith, Employment and Skills Improvement Officer, Ms MacNeil and Mr
Smith for organising a speaker from Glasgow University to speak to S5 and S6 pupils about

Fadalachd – Latecoming
We would like to ask for your support to ensure that pupils arrive in school on time every day.
Valuable teaching time is lost if a pupil arrives late in addition to disrupting the learning of other
pupils. Punctuality will be something we will continue to focus on and would encourage you to
support us with this.

Macbeth:
"Yet who would have thought the old man to have such blood in him"
Ian MacDonald's ground-breaking Gaelic translation of Shakespeare's Macbeth
weaves the original text with new and original fast-paced dialogue.
This brew of witches, ghosts and bloody murder after bloody murder is played out
by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
The high stakes of the Scottish crown have catapulted this ambitious couple into
the downward spiral of treachery and betrayal, leading to their eventual undoing.
As lady Macbeth texts her web of destruction, Macbeth has a Facebook frenzy
calling his armies to battle, whilst losing both his political influence and his mobile
phone signal.
Tickets: £6/£10
