Chryston high school is a non-denominational, co-educational secondary school. A large extension to the school was opened in 1981, so that much of the accommodation is modern. The extension includes a games hall, dance studio, lecture theatre and resource centre. There are all-weather football and hockey fields adjacent to the school.

There have been a number of recent changes to the school's accommodation. We have four computer rooms in an information technology area used by computing and business education teachers. We also have two rooms specially equipped for the technological studies courses undertaken in the technical education department.

Chryston high school has always had a range of extra curricular activities for its pupils. The physical education department organise hockey, badminton, basketball, netball, athletics and football which are run with the help from volunteer staff. Certain of these sports may be enjoyed after school hours. In addition, many members of staff also contribute to the activities of the ski-club which for the past eight years has organised both day and weekend trips.

As part of North Lanarkshire's drive to raise achievement among young people it has entered into a partnership with Outward Bound (Scotland) to provide a five day residential personal development experience for 1000 pupils in a rolling programme. The main aims of the initiative are to help pupils develop in confidence and self-esteem, to help pupils focus more on planning ahead, and to contribute to the Education Departments strategy for raising achievement. The participating pupils go for a weeks residential experience at the Outward Bound centre at Loch Eil, near Fort William.

We take great pride in the achievements of our young people and we hope that parents will encourage pupils to participate in the wide range of activities available in the school. We have achieved success in a range of competitions. These include public speaking and debating, the maths challenge and a national chemistry competition. Many departments in the school organise lunchtime clubs and activities, for example, the library, physical education, computing, drama and music. We also have a well established fishing club which undertakes three trips a year to New Mills Trout and Deer farm near Lanark. This attracts pupils of all ages.

Our social events have a first class reputation for good organisation and excellent pupil behaviour so that every one is safe and secure. The parents teachers association hold a barbecue disco early in the year, there is a Halloween party and Christmas dances, while the highlight of the social calendar is the "Senior Prom", for which we have established a tradition of formal dress.

The school productions involve as many as one fifth of our pupils, and we have excellent music and drama accommodation for the performances. Pupils also take part in instrumental groups within school, and join the numerous choirs, bands and orchestral groups organised by North Lanarkshire Council. We have had great success with our rock group in past years.

The school positively welcomes parental involvement in school life, and adopts a number of approaches to encourage this. We have produced a leaflet made available to current parents of the school called "Parents, Pupils and Chryston high school". The purpose of the leaflet is to set out what we ask pupils to do, what we at the school will do, and what we ask parents to do to assist us. Our school newsletter, with four issues each session, is an excellent way to let parents and the wider community know about the achievements of our pupils and about school events.
