Election

Election was based around the TV series The Apprentice and saw 10 young people battle through various tasks and challenges to become the ultimate winner. The final episode was filmed in the school where the 3 remaining contestants taught a short Science lesson to Drummond students. The DCHS students then voted on who delivered the best lesson. As you can imagine - being hosted by Jonathan Dimbleby - the series had a political flavour to it and was also designed to test and develop the leadership skills of those competing.

Holocaust Memorial Day 2009

On Tuesday 27 January 2009, our Head Teacher and Captains (William Ross, Niloo Khan, Gursevak Singh and Jessica Swift) were invited to The Scottish Parliament to see the award winning play, 'And Then They Came For Me', be performed to commemorate National Holocaust Memorial Day. The play tells the story of Eva Schloss, Anne Frank's step-sister, a Holocaust survivor. The following day, the play was performed in Drummond CHS and we were honoured to have Eva Schloss as our guest of honour.This clip is part of the coverage of the story from BBC Reporting Scotland.
